I suppose you are right, the Germans did get a jet fighter into the air first,,,,a whole 5 weeks before we did. And the Vampire wasn't as advanced as the Me262, It was faster, had a longer range, a better rate of climb, carried a bigger payload and did all this with only one engine when the 262 needed two.The engine was also very reliable and easy to work on with a long service life unlike the 262's engines that needed to be sent back to the factory for a total rebuild after 15 running hours (if they hadn't blown up, which many did) But no,,you are right, the vampire wasn't as "advanced" 😆
@@neil754👍👍 And the Russians bought and copied R. R. Nene engines, not Junkers Jumo. Anyway, severe shortage of materials, lack of motivation of the workforce including prisonners, competition between planes manufacturers subjected to Hitler's absurd whims... Many reasons why Me-262 was certainly nicely drawn and innovative (in comparison to Gloster Meteor's classic design) but above all unreliable. It's stunning they could start a serial production on such a new plane during ending war, with massive bombings and all... And yes I really enjoy seeing Vampire or Mistral flight. Graceful.
I flew WZ 507 when it was on charge to Marshalls Radar and ATC school, RAF Shawbury in 1964. I think we had 20 T11 Vampires and some Piston Provosts. At that time it was marled with a letter 'C' on the nose...
A few yers back I got a friend a flight on similar 2 seat .. Kaneth was a nice guy.. 900 ish pounds. I have contacts as I was in the airforce in an f-16 sqd.. have I been in a jet... no.. It is my dying wish tho.. to get one.. but the best gifts is the the ones you wnt yourselfe.. fucking haxx.
a plane that can’t even travel mach 1 unless going into a long steep dive, let alone handle the forces. completely goes against what the mach loop is known for.
The Mach Loop (also known as the *_Machynlleth Loop,_* Welsh: Dolen Mach) is a series of valleys in the United Kingdom in west-central Wales, notable for their use as low-level training areas for fast aircraft. Actual flying speeds & flying times during flying in the area are limited.

A time when the British built amazing planes of their own.
true. Although a lot of their joint ventures are successful and impressive, the old warbirds have their own British charm
Amazing that this took its maiden flight in 1943. British jets really were ahead of the game.
Er..... German jets were ahead of the game mate.
De me262 from Germany was far ahead

@@rschortinghuis5452Wasn't even close to the vampire... It was better in every category 😂😂
Noisiest camera shutter ever!!
Even drowns out vampire jets glorious whistle
Thanks for the feedback Trevor. I have been working on external recording devices in my later videos. Getting there slowly
Thanks for watching
Daf
Wow! super cool stuff, I've never seen or heard one of these flying , only on static display.
I flew WZ 507 when it was on charge to Marshalls Radar and ATC school, RAF Shawbury in 1964. I think we had 20 T11 Vampires and some Piston Provosts. At that time it was marled with a letter 'C' on the nose...
that was great!! last time i seen one it was on a static display outside the RAAF base at Wagga Wagga.
Great video Dafydd!! Nice bit of sunshine in the second pass as well! 👌😎
lovely little thing that
I used to fly in WH304
Based at Coventry Airport the owner is a friendly guy
That's very quiet for a jet aircraft, still it's a classic from the golden days of British aviation.
Avião muito usado no Vietnã. Em reconhecimento. Grande aeronave.
Are you sure about that?
Not an everyday sight
Equal to spotting a rare bird of the feathered variety. Very nice
😍
ALL military aircraft (of whatever era) should be forced to fly the Mach Loop, a kind of...right of passage.
Agreed 😎
A few yers back I got a friend a flight on similar 2 seat .. Kaneth was a nice guy.. 900 ish pounds. I have contacts as I was in the airforce in an f-16 sqd.. have I been in a jet... no.. It is my dying wish tho.. to get one.. but the best gifts is the the ones you wnt yourselfe.. fucking haxx.
It kind of reminds me of the mosquito from world war II
Very impressive. What happened to the Source aviation Vampire’s? Some Ex Swiss Airforce
Clicked on a video so I could listen to a camera shutter.
Yo solo vine por danirep jajaajajajaj
If the ware had gone on little longer the Germans would have had a very nasty shock!
