Airshow News A pilot of a Sea Fury FB Mk.11 (G-EEMV/WH588 'Baby Gorilla') died when the aircraft crash-landed, flipping over on to the cockpit and trapping the pilot inside, at Sywell Airfield in Northants at 1500BST on Saturday, 12 May, 2001. Earlier in the show at about 11.45am a DH112 Venom FB1 (G-GONE) landed with its undercarriage still up although thankfully the pilot was okay and firemen were able lift the aircraft back onto its undercarriage after it had delayed the show for 3-4 hours by blocking the runway and tow it to the static park. The decision is based on the fact that the Sea Harrier, which first entered service in 1978 is due for some much needed, and expensive engine overhauls of its own that the MoD cannot afford to complete. www.militaryairshows.co.uk /archive2.htm   (7770 words)

1/48 Aeroclub DeHavilland Venom FB4 by Graham Tarran Sometimes referred to simply as a swept wing Vampire or “Son of Vampire”, the DH112 Venom actually shared remarkably few parts with it’s predecessor. Unable to compensate by moving the engine forward or the wing aft, the De Havilland designers discovered that by introducing a modest sweep of the wing leading edge and straightening the trailing edge, the centre of pressure was moved sufficiently aft to compensate. On entering service the Venom FB1 began replacing the Vampire in RAF squadrons in Germany, the middle and Far East. www.aircraftresourcecenter.com /Gal3/2801-2900/Gal2849_Venom_Tarran/gal2849.htm   (877 words)
