This Vampire is now in full Norwegian makings representing a 336 Skvadron Vampire F.3.

The aircraft has acquired its previous USAF serial on the fin, 268823. It carries unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAFs 20 Squadron, was a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader. Formally controlled by the RAF, this was the first step in re-establishing civil aviation in Norway post-war, using several DC-3s and Lockheed L-18 Lodestars. In 1946 the DC-3s were transferred to DNL, Norway's main pre-war airline, one of the predecessors of SAS.

This Vampire represents Vampire T.55 15027/PX-M, that flew with the Norwegian AF from 1952 to 1955.

Started life in Sep 1942 as 08109 of the US Navy. Sold to the Danish Air Force in Sep 1951 as 82-857 "Munin", withdrawn from use on 14 October 1967 and stored at Værlose. Bought by Jens Larsen and transported to his farm near Plejerup, Denmark. Acquired by the museum in November 1989 in poor condition and beautifully restored and painted in Norwegian markings, as seen here.

What a cool aeroplane the Norseman is! The highlight for me of the Oostwold Airshow.
