	De Havilland Venom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Venom was developed in response to an Air Ministry requirement for a fast, manoeuvrable and capable fighter-bomber (FB) to replace the de Havilland Vampire, a late Second World War-era aircraft.
		In most respects, the Venom was quite similar to the Vampire, which included the sharing of the distinctive twin-boom tail and composite wood/metal structure, though the Venom differed in parts.
		The precursor to the Venom was a Vampire developmental variant, the FB.8, which was converted from a single Vampire F.1 fighter and fitted with the new de Havilland Ghost engine, which was more powerful than the de Havilland Goblin engine used on the Vampire.

	De Havilland Sea Vixen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The de Havilland Sea Vixen was a 1950s two-seat jet fighter of the Fleet Air Arm (the air wing of the Royal Navy).
		Despite this, de Havilland continued with the project, and by the late 1950s the Royal Navy had placed an order and the aircraft entered service with the Fleet Air Arm.
		The Sea Vixen had a twin-boom tail, as used on the de Havilland Sea Vampire and de Havilland Sea Venom, the latter for which the Sea Vixen was the replacement.

		Venoms were similar in appearance to the Vampires that they replaced, but had a considerable performance advantage.
		Venoms were finally retired form the R.A.F. in July 1962, the last unit still operating Vemons being No. 28 squadron at Khormaksar with the F.E.A.F.
		After retirement, a number of the Swiss Venoms were acquired by warbird collectors and the "long-nose" Swiss Venoms are a popular attraction at airshows in the 21st century.

	Aeroclub's 1/48 de Havilland Sea Venom
		De Havilland's Sea Venom was a two-seat development of the single seat Venom, which was itself an aerodynamic improvement of the company's first jet fighter, the Vampire, to take advantage of a 50 percent increase in thrust of the jet engine used.
		The Sea Venom was the second purpose-designed radar-equipped night and all-weather fighter, the first being the Douglas F3D Skynight.
		Aeroclub had begun by the time of the introduction of the Hunter, to produce their kits with limited-run injection molded plastic parts to supplement the vacuform parts, particularly for those areas of the airframe that would prove difficult for the modeler not already an expert in vacuform modeling.

		As with the Vampire, the Sea Venom's forward fuselage was also made from balsa and plywood, the same non-strategic materials that de Havillands had used for building the Mosquito fighter bomber during World War Two.
		RAN Sea Venoms narrowly escaped early retirement when - in 1959 - the Commonwealth Government announced the Navy would henceforth concentrate on anti-submarine warfare to which end, the Sea Venoms were to be replaced by Westland Wessex helicopters.
		De Havilland Sea Venom FAW53 (WZ937, 211/Y) On 10 OCT 1955 it arrived at Hurn, Hampshire, England.

	Informat.io on De Havilland Venom
		The Venom had come about after an Air Ministry requirement for a fast, manoeuvrable and capable fighter-bomber (FB) to replace the de Havilland Vampire, a late Second World War-era aircraft.
		The Venom's lineage lay in the aircraft it was intended to replace, which had been the second jet aircraft to enter service with the RAF, after the Gloster Meteor which did see service during WWII.
		It was armed with four Hispano Mk V 20 mm cannon in the nose, and had the capability to carry either two 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs or eight RP-3 (60 lb) air-to-ground rocket projectiles.

	[3.0] DH Venom / DH Sea Vixen
		The Venom retained the quad 20 millimeter Hispano V cannon armament of the Vampire, as well as the Vampire's underwing stores capacity of 900 kilograms (2,000 pounds), with typical weapons load being two 450 kilogram (1,000 pound) bombs or eight RPs; a drop tank could be carried under each wing as an alternate payload.
		De Havilland implemented the needed improvements, resulting in the first flight of the "Venom FB.4" on 29 December 1953.
		The Sea Venom was being obtained as an interim fix, but it was obviously going to be obsolete in a few years, and the Royal Navy had been casting around for a long-term solution, issuing a series of requests from early 1951.

		Despite a strong resemblance to the earlier de Havilland Vampire, the Venom was in fact a largely new design, incorporating an entirely new wing and other refinements to take full advantage of the more powerful de Havilland Ghost engine.
		The RAF's single-seat Venoms were operated exclusively overseas, equipping the Far East and Middle East Air Forces as well as the 2nd Tactical Air Force in Germany.
		The last RAF Venoms in use were those of No.28 Squadron in Hong Kong, these being withdrawn in 1962.

	Venom
		The Venom was developed by de Havilland Aircraft from their earlier Vampire, which had been the second type of jet fighter to enter service with the RAF.
		De Havilland developed a two seat night fighter version - the NF.2, having a widened fuselage to accommodate a radar operator who operated the nose mounted AI radar.
		Large numbers of Venom night fighters and Sea Venoms were built at the de Havilland factory at nearby Christchurch in the mid 1950’s.

		The Venom retained the Vampire's agility and good handling characteristics, but was faster and in particular had a much improved climb rate.
		De Havilland built 300 with Marshalls (50), Fairey (19) and Vickers (5) contributing to the total.
		Most RAF Venom FB.1 units were upgraded to the FB.4 standard and then in turn replaced by the Hawker Hunter variants.

		In 1953, one Venom lost a wing in flight, and in a check of other machines 75% were found to have a similar defect to the one which caused the wing to fall off.
		Venoms were used in Suez in 1956 (where one was lost) and in Yemen the following year.
		Like the original Venom, it was intended to serve as an interim aircraft, this time between the Navy's piston-engined Hornet and the De Havilland Sea Vixen.

	De Havilland Sea Venom by Bruce Graham (Aeroclub 1/48)
		The last four Sea Venoms to operate from HMAS Melbourne were taken from 724 Sqn stocks and, it seems, had ‘M’ added to their existing markings.
		In view of these anomalies, I decided to use the squadron colours I preferred, which I reckon to be a variation of 805 Squadron (normally red and white checks), during one of their eleven tours on board HMAS Melbourne.
		Aeroclub’s Sea Venom was an enjoyable build, with a few pieces remaining depending on the version used.

		The finish glowed in the tropical sun, the tiptanks and rudders had been painted red, the squadron badge was on the nose, and the squadron emblem, white lightning flashes on a fl background were either side of the roundels on the booms.
		The Aeroclub Venom in 1/48 scale is a mixed media kit, with vacuformed wings and centre fuselage; injection molded forward fuselage and cockpit floor, tail booms and tailplane.
		The Venoms were painted in the then current NATO colours of Azure Blue undersides, Dark Green and Ocean Grey upper surfaces.

		The Swiss Venoms operated from airfields high in the Alps, where their agility was invaluable in ensuring safe flights into and out of mountain valleys.
		This night-fighting Venom served with the RAF from 1953 until 1957, and was also used by Iraq, Venezuela and Sweden.
		Venoms were finally retired from the R.A.F. in 7/62, the last unit still operating Venoms being No. 28 squadron at Khormaksar with the F.E.A.F. Another major variant of the Venom was the FW.Mk 20 and FW.Mk 21 Sea Venom.

	DE HAVILLAND SEA VIXEN - HISTORY
		After proving to themselves that carrier operations were feasible for jet aircraft with the de Havilland Sea Vampire, the Navy formulated a specification for a fleet defence fighter.
		The RAF issued a similar requirement and de Havilland decided the requirements were so similar that a single aircraft could fulfil them both.
		There was considerable interest from other countries, including NATO allies and Australia and de Havilland even had an improved mach 1.4+ version with thin wings on the drawing board but when the British government went loopy and decided that manned aircraft were obsolete (in the 1957 Defence White Paper), interest evaporated.
