Why do the Vampires  look different at the sharp end ,,,,,,?

Rob,

The tailplanes differ, too. Looking at silhouettes, the middle one looks a bit like a Venom, but it's hard to tell. Maybe one is a 2-seater Vampire and the other a solo. The 2-seater had a longer nose.

Yes, one is a 2-seater.  I am not sure why they changed the tail shapes, perhaps that got tired of the shape on the single seater which had been a De Haviland characteristic since WWI. :scratch:
