Original model and textures by Rick Piper. This repaint by Duncan Taylor.
Thank you for downloading this repaint. To use it, you will need to download Rick Pipers superb model.
This is a repaint in the colours of XA669, which formed half of the once famous "Vintage Pair" RAF display team. I had seen this aircraft fly many times and saw the team bring excitement to the crowds at airshows throughout their display partnership. This particular aircraft was destroyed along with its team counterpart, a DeHavilland Vampire, during one of their displays at Air Fete '86 at RAF Mildenhall, England. The crew of the Vampire were able to eject, but tragically, the crew of XA669 lost their lives during this incident.
With this repaint, XA669 will be able to fly once more, nearly twenty years after its demise, helping to relive some of its better times along with remembering the crew of this aircraft who died whilst bringing happiness to others.
