| Description |
c/n V.0184 Built 1950 directly for the Royal Norwegian Air Force On display in the Military Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum). Bodø, Northern Norway 24th May 2019 The following information is from the Museum website:- “The De Havilland Vampire was the RNoAF’s first jet fighter. Between May 1948 and April 1951, a total of 20 F Mk. II and 36 FB Mk. 52 Vampires were supplied to Norway. In the summer and autumn of 1952 six two-seat training version Vampires T Mk.55 were delivered to 336 and 337 Squadrons. After a vain attempt to sell the remaining aircraft in 1955 and 1956 they were all disposed of as scrap, except for the six T Mk.55s, which were sold back to the factory. The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum’s Vampire is a fighter bomber FB Mk.52, serial number V0184. When it came to Norway in 1950 its registration was B-B1 and it was delivered to 336 Squadron. In July 1951, the aircraft was transferred to 337 Squadron and given the code ZK-U. When the aircraft type was phased out ZK-U was transferred to Værnes Air Station and put into storage. The aircraft was written off in 1957 and selected as a museum object. It then had a total of 618 flying hours. After the establishment of the Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum the aircraft was transported to Bodø.” |
