A.L.1         INTRODUCTION
Part I
INTRO-
DUCTION         The Vampire FB Mark 5 can be used as a fighter-bomber, or
                  |   interceptor in both tropical and temperate climates.  When cock-
                  |   pit cooling under Mod. 905 is introduced this aircraft becomes 
                  |   a Mark 9 owing to the non-interchangeability of the starboard
                  |   plane.  It is a jet-propelled, single-seat aircraft with clipped wings.
                  |   It has a pressure cabin and in addition to four 20 mm. guns,
                  |   provision is made for the carriage of R.P. and/or bombs.  The
                  |   power plant is a Goblin Mark 2 turbine jet engine.
