My 'Spider Crab' *COMPLETED*

[Narayan]

The Chilean government began negotiations with the US for the supply of modern equipment but negative reactions prompted them to turn to the UK. On October 22nd 1953 a contract for five 2 seated Vampire Mk.11 was signed. In May 1954 the Fuerza Aerea Chilena (FACh / Chilean Air Force) received it's first jet aircraft from Great Britain supplied to the Grupo de Aviacion 7 (Air Group 7) at their base in Los Cerillos, Santiago where it was active until 1958. In 1963, after a temporary retirement, the Vampires were transferred to the Grupo Aereo 8 in the Cerro Moreno Air Base where they served until 1971 when all except J-302 were retired. In December 1972 four new Mk-11 from the Royal Air Force were bought. J-302 was renumbered J-301 and the others J-302 to J-305. They were painted in desert camouflage and transferred to Grupo Aereo 4 at Iquique where they operated until 1980.

Crooked cops. Do they come any other way? If I'd been just a little dumber, I could have joined the force myself.
