Finland has become the 17th country to select the de Havilland Vampire Trainer as its standard jet training aircraft. The Finnish Air Force is already equipped with Vampire single-seat fighters, so that use of a trainer of similar design will result in considerable economies in spares and mainten-
ance.
Although the wing-loading of the Vampire Trainer is moderate, it has all the handling charac- teristics of a contemporary jet fighter, with a speed of more than 500 mph. All Royal Air Force pilots are trained on Vampires, and the aircraft is also in service with the Royal Navy and the Air Forces of Australia, Burma, Chile, India, Iraq, A shy Chinese girl last week Lebanon, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South confounded the security forces
