Don't get bitten (airplanes)
Vampyre. This example is a 2-seat trainer version. Flew later that day, after we'd left. This was Britain's second operational jet fighter. During development, it was called the Spider Crab. (Aren't you glad they changed the name?)
Venom. This was developed from the Vampyre for operation off of aircraft carriers. It has more sophisticated electronics systems, such as a better radar.

Cool looking planes. Hey spider crab is not such a bad name! but Venom and Vampyre are definitely badass names!

Which is what the military seems to go for. I might have some better shots from another show. At least, better in terms of being able to see the plane. The camera, though, was definitely not better. We'll see when I get to that folder.Originally Posted by JAS_Photo

I see that first Vampire was in the RAAF!
