DH100 Vampire jet fighter - Orange 2008 Air Show

This beautiful de Havilland DH100 Vampire participated to the BA115 Orange Air Show 2008. I've witnessed the startup of the engine, which is an interesting experience because of the particular noise of the engine starter.

Note: I've lived and worked 7 years on this air base, long time ago, when Mirage F1 was "King" here.

;-) J'ai attendu une demie-heure la caméra au point le lancement du réacteur ! Ces turbines anciennes ont un bruit très caractéristique. C'est loin du bruit du micro-turbo qui lance les ATAR 9K50 de ma jeunesse ! Merci.

i wonder how it would have compared with the me262 which first flew just 5 months before its first flight?
