Photo Comment

Being introduced in 1946 and phased out in 1973, the Vampire held its ground with the Swiss forces, withstanding the technological advancements of that period. This 1952 airframe is from the second main batch of 100 licence-built aircraft. It has been on display in three different countries since 1986.
