Hi Sean

That was nice of you to do all his work for him. I typed in Irish Air
Corps and de Havilland Vampire on Google, and within 7 seconds I had
quite a few sites.

Cheers...Chris

I'd done that and found a few of those sites Sean kindly suggested plus
quite a few 'rip-off' sites repeating what scramble.nl report... didn't get
the forum though. No sites explain what they did in any detail etc.

So, six Vampire T.55s served between 1956 and 1976, based at Baldonnel. One
Vampire T.11 during 1963. Registration numbers of 185, 186,187, 191, 192,
193 and 198.
But at http://www.alphalink.com.au/~cask/Baldonnel.html these are described
as T.39s. An IAC equipment specific designation?

I like the way www.irishmilitaryonline.com calls 5 bases (one on a ship)
numerous!
I will look for Wings Over Ireland through my local library.

Thanks for all the help,
