History & design
A compact aircraft at the start of the jet age
De Havilland began the DH100 design in May 1942 and flew the prototype on 20 September 1943. Initially called Spider Crab, it became the Vampire when ordered for the RAF. Aircraft became available in 1945, with service entry in the summer of 1946.
The RAF Museum's F3 account describes a long-range development of the F1 with a revised tail. Six F3s from No. 54 Squadron crossed the Atlantic under their own power in July 1948. The Vampire subsequently served both front-line and auxiliary units. Those F3 milestones are family history; the Swiss aircraft represented by SwissMilSim has its own later equipment changes.

Controls and equipment
The manual describes hydraulic accessories and high-speed control behaviour.
The Swiss cockpit evolved over decades
SwissMilSim describes two major Swiss upgrades: an ejection seat and revised attitude/heading instruments in 1960, followed by UHF radio and a transponder installation in 1980. The latter required the distinctive extended, pointed nose. Swiss Vampires moved from fighter and ground-attack work into training and target duties before military flying ended in 1990. The add-on's cockpit and exterior should therefore be read as a particular Swiss configuration.
