1972 saw the formation of the Vintage Pair display team by the Central Flying School with this Vampire and Meteor T.7 WA 669. Sadly, the Vampire collided in mid-air wth the Meteor during a display at the Mildenhall Air Fete on August 21, 1986. The occupants of both aircraft were killed. | |

Correction: Both airmen in the Vampire XH304 parachuted to safety. The Meteor WF791 occupants died as it crashed. |
