thanks. But Iran hadn't this plane. And they said that it's in Iran. Now, I have something to prove them they are wrong. (Only god knows how many more things like this one we have...).I would say that's a DH Vampire. However the date of pic taking seems to be incorrect. because the planes were intorduced in April 1945 and didn't get ready operationally until 1946. Judging by the markings it was a RAF Vampire.
Edit.. yep that's the RAF T2 Vampire two-seater trainer serial XD378 crashed at the Kai Tak , Hong Kong in 1955 due to the air brakes falure.

That's the German Kamikaze boat. I'm not sure if there were any classes of them but these were just called the Sprengboot and made from all ex yachts and boats built in Germany and other occuplied countries.
Judging from the way the chap is falling off the back of the boat, perhaps he isn't too keen on the whole kamikaze thing?![]()
