Hi as a plane mad kid the vampire at PC was the nearest I could get to a plane in Reading. I remember my day (ex RAF ) did arrange a visit around 1980 though somebody he knew and I had some brief fun with the Vampire.
Of course it was officially with 2287sqn ATC. It is listed as such in that old aircraft lovers bible 'wrecks and Relics' for 1968 and 1974 edditions. Also around locally with 381sqn ATC at Brock Barracks was Hawker Hunter F1 WT684 . This must have dissapeared by the late 70's as I was never taken to see this by my dad, and believe me I would have been! The nose of the Hunter still survives with a private collector.
