    Quote Tony Kearns

    "A reunion of all personnel who were involved in the operation and maintenance of the DH Vampire T55 in Air Corps service between 1956 and 1976 will take place on June 3 2010 at Casement Aerodrome. The programme will include a history of the aircraft in service with the Air Corps and a static display of Vampire paraphernalia and photographs
    It is hoped that a serviceable Vampire with the Museum Vampire191 will be on display subject to weather and operational constraints.
    The reunion is being organised with the kind permission of the GOC Air Corps and with the generous support of City Jet."

    For the above event a DH Vampire arrived at Baldonnel this morning, her reg is:WZ507 "74"

    it just departed EIME, the sound off it was incredible :)

    I took a video on my mobile, I'm not sure how it will look but I'll post it up if it's half-decent.

    no, just an occasional visitor to Bal!

    the noise was amazing though, it was like an F1 car at full throttle
