Textbook self-own – vintage jet tears up runway on take-off, has nowhere to land
Here’s a vintage Vampire fighter jet taking off from an airport near Wolverhampton at an airshow on Sunday.
Oh bollocks.
UPDATE: Just in case you were wondering, the jet WAS able to make a landing, on another undamaged runway. Read all about it here.
The de Havilland Vampire – we’re getting into this – was commissioned by the RAF in 1943 but didn’t enter active service until 1946, months after the end of WW2.
