DH 112 Venom

Hello again there fellow PPruners. Six months or so ago I made a request for help sourcing de Havilland Vampire stories, and it proved such a success that - with your help - "Vampire Boys" will be launched later this year.

But my obsession with twin-boomed de Havilland masterpieces does not end there, and I'm now embarking on a similar research project regarding the Venom. Whether you flew it, worked on it or have some other story to tell about the aircraft, please do get in touch - I'd love to hear more.

Spaz,
I have been in touch with her to send my Australian Aviation article on N4 from 1995.
A good contact for her would be Steve Long at Camden Museum, but I don't have his email.
cheers, BB
