De Havilland Vampire F.8 - No.500 (County of Kent) Squadron, Royal Auxiliary Air Force, 1956
 
The Vampire F.8 was developed to a 1949 Air Ministry requirement for an interceptor fighter for the home defence squadrons of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force and was based on the airframe of the Vampire FB.5 but with the more powerful Goblin 35 engine of the Vampire T.11 trainer. The Vampire F.8 entered service with No.500 (County of Kent) Squadron in 1951 and served with eight auxiliary squadrons until the sudden disbandment of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force in March 1957.
