I've always had the impression that vane-pumps were designed to shift gas rather than liquid. Am I wrong? regards

Yep! :-) Vickers would have been the biggest makers of vane hydraulic pumps..:

I don't think they're interchangeable, but there are vane pumps for moving both.
I've even seen one vane pump that was shifting solids around - plastic beads going into an injection moulder. I think it was more of a metering control than a pump - it fed straight into a screw conveyor
