de Havilland DH100 Vampire Mk 5

NL-F was carried by two airframes :

  • a British-built one, VZ211 of EC 1/2 (Escadron de Chasse 1/2 Cigognes / Fighter Squadron 1/2 Cigognes -british : Stork-) from October 1951 to March 1953;
  • less likely but not impossible, it could be (SNCASE-built) de Havilland DH100 Vampire Mk 5 c/n 10109 of EC 3/2 (between April and August 1952 (!) and later on July and August 1953 ... but then too late for the movie as the release date was on April 1953).

Gloster GA.5 F/4.48 (Javelin prototype)

Reg. WD808 Gloster GA.5 F/4.48, prototype of the Javelin which crashed on 11 June 1953. The pilot, Peter Lawrence, delayed his ejection too long in order to ensure that the aircraft would avoid crashing onto the school cricket pitches and killing lots of boys. Sadly his parachute was unable to open in time.

Seen taking off during the September 1952 Farnborough Airshow.
