EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the groundbreaking de Havilland Vampire F1, registration TG278, as it soared to new heights in aviation history on March 23, 1948. The Vampire F1, a British single-engine jet fighter aircraft, was experimentally fitted with a de Havilland Ghost turbojet, 4ft extensions to the wings, and a special hood. These modifications were made to push the boundaries of aviation technology and set new records. The Ghost turbojet engine, a powerful and innovative addition to the Vampire F1, provided the aircraft with increased thrust and performance. The extended wings, on the other hand, offered greater lift and stability in flight. The special hood was designed to reduce drag and improve the aircraft's aerodynamics. With these enhancements, the Vampire F1, piloted by test pilot John Derry, reached an astonishing altitude of 59,446 feet, shattering the previous world record. The achievement was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the de Havilland team and the limitless potential of aviation technology. This photograph captures the moment of triumph as the Vampire F1, with its distinctive silhouette and ghostly turbojet exhaust, stands proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The record-breaking flight marked a significant milestone in aviation history and paved the way for further advancements in jet technology.
