Here's one for starters then Laurence. This photo' was taken by my 'late' friend Derek Hine who was on the fire section. The original pic shows it to be a Venom FB.4
WR412 of 8 Sqd. the only info' I have on it that it was SOC(struck off charge) 4/5/61 as Cat5(c) at Eastleigh, Kenya. It was allocated the maintenance serial 7640M but ntu(not taken up) So presumabably it was airfreighted to Sharjah at some stage.It was dumped on the Dubai side of the airfield and was visible from the operational side, but I never got to see it close up. How long did it last in that state I wonder.
Anymore info' as to it's accident it must have suffered, Laurence?
