Back in the early 1990s an airshow wasn't complete without at least one of the Topin Venoms or Vampires in the programme. I think at their peak they were able to put up a diamond nine of twin boom jets.

I read somewhere, back in the mists of time, that they reckoned a well flown Venom could have given a MiG-15 a difficult time. Not sure what evidence was for that, but I know I'm still waiting for Airfix (or anybody) to bring out a single seater in 1/72nd scale.
