The Vampire Trainer was built by Fairey Aviation and is shown outside their flight shed shortly after its first flight on 15 September 1954. The assembly hangar, still camouflaged, at the right, was built to a standard Ministry of Aircraft Production specification in late 1939, and is now (2017) the oldest remaining hangar at the airport.
