Venom Night Fighters with the RAF and Swedish Air Force

Having just started on a project taking a closer look at the Venom NF.2,NF.2A and NF.3 in service with the RAF and the NF.51 with Sweden.
I would like to correspond with anyone who was involved with the aircraft before and during its, albeit, short career with the RAF. Please respond. I'll look forward to it.

Angel Venom book

This may be "not very useful" info, but "Venom - the complete story" by David Watkins is a comprehensive account which includes the 2-seat variants. You probably already know this, but "There you go" ...
Good hunting on your project,
Regards and respect,
Jig P

What about the FB4, it played a big role in the RAF during Suez in which case look at "Wings over Suez" by Brian Cull. A friend of mine flew the FB4 during the Suez campaign operating out of Akrotiri!!

I think you will find the clue is in the title of the original post.

Help!

There must be someone out there who knows the Venom NFs at first hand. The RAF squadrons were
23, 33, 89, 125, 141, 151, 219 and 253.
