Auto Credit Based on GT3TobyRS's DH Vampire help

Fixed the flight issue. The COM was behind the COL so therefore the plane was flipping backwards (I think?) But I pulled the COM forward and fixed it. Also added some RAF logos. Great plane and all credit to @GT3tobyRS . Please visit, download and UPVOTE his planes. They are amazing and aren't getting the credit they need! So go check him out please. The de Havilland Vampire is a British jet fighter developed and manufactured by de Havilland. Having been developed during the Second World War to harness the newly developed jet engine, the Vampire entered service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1945. It was the second jet fighter, after the Gloster Meteor, operated by the RAF, and its first to be powered by a single jet engine. The RAF used the Vampire as a front-line fighter until 1953, when it was given secondary roles such as pilot training, although 103 Flying Refresher School had them deployed in that role from 1951. It was retired by the RAF in 1966, replaced by the Hawker Hunter and Gloster Javelin. It achieved several aviation firsts and records, including being the first jet aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The Vampire had many export sales and was operated by various air forces. It participated in conflicts including the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the Malayan emergency and the Rhodesian Bush War. Almost 3,300 Vampires were manufactured, a quarter of them built under licence in other countries. The Royal Navy's first jet fighter was the Sea Vampire, a navalised variant which was operated from its aircraft carriers. The Vampire was developed into the DH.115 dual-seat trainer and the more advanced DH.112 Venom ground-attack and night fighter. Hunter77

    @Hunter77 THANK YOU!!! I knew there was something wrong with the COM and COL, but I couldn't find out what it was. I am going to keep on making better versions and paint schemes too.
