  13. This line from the Vampire Wiki page caught my eye; In total 3,268 Vampires were built in 15 versions, including twin-seat night fighters, trainers and carrier-based Sea Vampires. The Vampire was used by 31 air forces. Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the U.S. were the only major Western powers not to use the aircraft. Well, let's put that right!!
  14. Or, one of my favourites, a No.43 Squadron pilot describing how the Gloster Meteor handles at altitude, “she wallows like a sick cow above 30,000ft.”
  15. That's how I see her. Also, pilots do seem to say things like, "she handles beautifully" (usually Spitfire pilots) or "she handles like a cow/pig/mule" (Avia S-199 or Javelin pilots).
