EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.100 Vampire FB.6, registration F-AZHJ (msn 668), nestled among the collection of the Association Varoise Avions de Collection at Cuers-Pierrefeu Airfield, France, on 30 November 1998. The Vampire, a British single-engine, two-seat, jet-powered fighter trainer and fighter, was produced by de Havilland between 1945 and 1953. This particular aircraft, 57.S.9, is a variant of the Vampire FB.6, which was used by the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) from 1953 to 1964. The Vampire was a significant aircraft in its time, marking a transition from piston-engine to jet-engine technology in military aviation. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a formidable aircraft in the skies, and it continues to be a popular attraction among aviation enthusiasts today. The Association Varoise Avions de Collection is home to an impressive collection of historic aircraft, and the inclusion of the Vampire FB.6 in their ranks is a testament to their commitment to preserving aviation history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were filled with the sound of jet engines and the thrill of innovation.
