REQ identity of unknown Vampire in Antwerp (?)

Post by patrick dirksen »

Hi all,

Listed on Ebay is an unknown Vampire. The seller is located in Breda, but he gives the location of the Vampire as Antwerp. In one of the pictures the Vampire is stored next to a Swiss P3, with registration A-8** only partly visible. Is there somebody who knows more about this Vampire (or the P3 for that matter)? See:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dehavilland-V ... 7675.l2557

If that link is too long, search for item 131140506613 on the British Ebay.
Cheers,

Looks like the P-3 could be the A-805? On top of the tail it looks like tiger stripes. The c/n plate on the photo is probably from the ejectionseat (Martin Baker MK.3b).

I am told it is indeed A-805, and they are indeed based at Antwerp. The id of the Vampire is still unknown though.
Didn't know the P3 lives at Antwerp by the way....
