How Britain’s Vampire jet defied logic and made aviation history
Born in 1943 as the DH.100 “Spider Crab,” transformed into the sleek Vampire, this British jet smashed expectations. It was the first solo‑engine fighter to operate from aircraft carriers, the first to cross the Atlantic as a jet, and earned its name when someone noticed its bat‑like silhouette in flight. Cold War classics began here.

The De Havilland Vampire was a British jet fighter and the second-ever operational jet aircraft used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), following the Gloster Meteor. The Vampire was designed by De Havilland, a well-known British aerospace company. It featured a twin-boom tail design with a central fuselage. It was powered by a single Goblin turbojet engine, which was quite small compared to later jet engines but gave the aircraft a good balance of speed and maneuverability. Location: East Midlands Ae
