Get up in the blue sky with pilot Janne Andersson and a vampire! Grateful to have had the opportunity to film this fantastic plane on a beautiful day at Hässlö, Västerås Sweden. Many thanks to owner and great pilot Jan Andersson. Also want to thank Västerås Airport Flying Museum for great support during filming.
The Irish Air Corps flew 6 of these beautiful aircraft from 1955 to 1976. My Father was in the Air Corps and as a child I remember sitting in these wonderful aircraft.
Flew with my mates rhodesian air force..1969...1972..best time of my life..
Back in the 1960s there was a static Vampire parked outside the Air Cadets hut at Appleby in Westmorland in the UK. We used to travel that way to see family and I always looked out for it. I once sat in a Vampire cockpit which the RAF used on forces open days in Ripon (Yorkshire). We also had either a Goblin or Ghost engine (can't remember which) in our own air cadet hut at school in Leicestershire. There must have been plenty kicking about in the 60s after they had gone out of service . The sad thing is that nobody ever gave us instruction on how the jet engine worked. I'm sure it would have made an interesting lecture on a wet Friday afternoon. Thats a lovely example of a really nice aircraft.
in Istanbul, in 1958 HMS Eagle visited and I was allowed to visit t he ship with the deck filled with the small Vampire jets....I forgot my camera at the base but it was great to wander amongst these jets...nice to see this film, tack!
It was more likely the Venom than the Vampire. They were very very similar in appearance. The easiest point of identification were the wingtip fuel tanks. The Venom had them but the Vampire didn't.
Thanks jesper!
Super. Saludos de Chile, gracias.
Thanks😊✈
Sweet!
I thoroughly enjoyed 'my flight' !! I was THERE !! ........in that 'office'...tyvm !!
I was 'around' them, in the early 60's, in OZ, 'cause one of 'my' clients was DHA and I often delivered parts to their tiny factory at Bankstown, outside of Sydney.....and many a time a trainer was on the ramp, outside the 'shops'.....and I could wander all over, no security...'the good ole days'.....................
Great AND BEAUTYFUL FLIGHT
Great loved all the camera angles.Flew a slightly smaller version of one myself today.
Jake Bullit you lucky chap
Great Flight!!!
That is one cool looking airplane.
I really wish there were some FB5 Vampires restored and flying. They were great little aircraft.
REALLY great stuff , plus growing up with these & others, having been born in a Crown Colony !!
Leighton Samms you mean colony from the game online goat simulate real waste of space like if you agree
Awesome airplane!
Awesome flying.
Sweet little jet!Nice job😎👍!
First flight September 1943. First jet aircraft to fly across the Atlantic. Only 3268 units produced.
Excelente vídeo saludos desde Chile ese avión lo tuvimos en la quita región de Chile 👍👍🇨🇱🇨🇱
Thank you🙂
As a kid I had several exposures to Vampires. The first at an airshow in Wigram in Christchurch where I watched a Vampire (I think) drop a live bomb on a tent at the other side of the runway and also strafed said tent. The second as a member of the ATC where we frequently marched and congregated near several parked up Vampires awaiting disposal and finally as a frequent (and illegal) visitor to a local scrap yard that had a contract to scrap Vampires. They were just lying about in bits in the yard. Fascinating times to be a kid.
Vampire aerobatic displays were always my favorite part of RNZAF air shows at Ohakea in late 50's and early 60's when I was very young.
Superb! :)
Brilliant footage!
Thank you sir!

Exellent piloting, exellent moviemaking. This gets me off my ass to finish our Fiat G.91 T.3. If he can fly the Vampiere that well, I let him fly our Gina anytime. Greetings, Ginajockey
No ejection seats? The T11 had them. Was this standard fit for the Swedish Air force or have they been removed in civilian use for ease of maintenance?
Nice!
Excellent film, lovely aeroplane, really enjoyed that, thanks.
nice VId mate. thx
Thanks mate! :)
Me parece un bello avión aerodinámico y al parecer potente motor digamos para el año q se inventó y fabricó creo q se podría hacer algo parecido pero mejorado gran nave
You've got to hand it to the British and give credit where credit is due.
They're very good at developing and building obsolete, useless aircraft.
Good engine for its time though
Care to explain ? You could have said atrocious looking aircraft yes, almost all of them. But obsolete and useless certainly not.
And you have to hand it to the yanks,they really know how to build a 737 Max 800.!!! Which at the time of comment is “Still” grounded,after airlines buying them and not being able to fly the crap.
You've gotta go some to beat the Spruce Goose. At least the Brabazon proved it could leave the ground on a regular basis and land again after trundling around the sky for a bit.
So useless that only 31 countries bought or built Vampires.
Beautifully flown and filmed aerobatic sequence in an ultra first generation jet fighter. Thanks.
Great video! It sounds funny the pneumatic sistem for brakes and other controls I think.
Sounds quite like a truck !
I just finished refurbishing my radio controlled Vampire 2 seater. Great flight demonstration.
Those were the days when Vampires and Venoms flew in the Swiss skies and later the beautiful Hunters!
This guy has all the fun in the world
If you ever get a chance, there is a great story by Frederick Forsythe called "The Shepherd" about a pilot of a Vampire who ends up NORDO over the English Channel. It's still in print.
👋👋👋Nice video. Great plane. The golden years of jet age.
8:41 If you look straight onto her nose ... I see some resemblance with a crow .. that selfassured, curious pitch . and doesn't she fly as featherlight and velvetsome ... a beautiful machine to ride on the air and a fine take :))
Great video of a beautiful plane!

I build the goblen engine in the irish air corps in 1970 and fitted to vampire for the easter fly pass . Next rember there two seat in that vampire share you experience that how we learn.

Remember them in my younger times when the Swiss Army had them in service.
