Various types can be seen, including the Meteor NF.11, Meteor F.4, Vampire F.3, Vampire FB.5, Vampire NF.10 and, in the background, some F-80s.

At first glance the two above do not seem like Archive material at all'. They are clearly ex-RAAF Vampires, the top one ex A79-657 with a crudely painted N11933 on the boom, the lower one is N11930 with a serial ending '45. The photographs were taken by Rod Simpson at Jefferson County Airport, Denver in March 1971 and he simply asks if anyone knows what happened to them?
The ex-RAAF Vampires have been identified as part of a lot of fourteen purchased in 1970 by Westair International of Broomfield, Colorado. They were registered N11920 to N11933 inclusive, being respectively ex A79-602/613/616/617/618/624/631/635/639/644/645/646/654 and 657. N11927 was re-regd N35DS later. Most are still current, though not necessarily active, and our featured N11930 is with Edward Stead of Bedford, NH, while N11933 was wfu in 10.76 but is still with Bradley Museum, Windsor Locks, CT.
