The Vampire was pretty sorted out by the time of entering service in 1946. It could have perhaps met the ME-262 if forced into service earlier. Would have been an interesting matchup. The Meteor could not have held its own, but the Vampire? Maybe.

I don’t know; the Me-262 was faster and had heavier armament. The engines were dodgy but when they were running, it was fast and nimble.
