    Mark Hooton makes an energetic return to Wellesbourne Mountford, conducting a run-and-break into the circuit for landing on Runway 18 after flying the Vampire Preservation Group’s first public UK air display in many years, at the 2022 Midlands Air Festival held at Ragley Hall nearby.

    Celebrating 70 years since her construction in 1952 at de Havilland’s Christchurch factory in Dorset, Coventry Airport based G-VTII is one of a small number of Vampires still capable of flight around the world – and rarer still, it is believed to be the only T Mk11 still airworthy today.
