Fotogalerij van een de Havilland DH112 Venom, The de Havilland DH 112 Venom was a British postwar single-engined jet aircraft developed from the de Havilland Vampire. It served with the Royal Air Force as a single-seat fighter-bomber and two-seat night fighter. The Venom was an interim between the first generation of British jet fighters – straight-wing aircraft powered by centrifugal flow engines such as the Gloster Meteor and the Vampire and later swept wing, axial flow-engined designs such as the Hawker Hunter and de Havilland Sea Vixen. The Venom was successfully exported, and saw service with Iraq, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and Venezuela. The Sea Venom was a navalised version for carrier operation.

Meer info:

The de Havilland DH112 Venom was a single-engine jet aircraft that served as a fighter-bomber and a night fighter in the 1950s and 1960s. It was developed from the de Havilland Vampire, which was the first jet-powered combat aircraft of the British Royal Air Force (RAF). The Venom had a thinner and swept wing, and a more powerful de Havilland Ghost turbojet engine, which improved its performance and altitude capabilities. The Venom entered service with the RAF in 1952, and was also used by the Royal Navy as the Sea Venom, a navalised version that could operate from aircraft carriers.
The Venom saw combat action in several conflicts, such as the Suez Crisis, the Malayan Emergency, and the Aden Emergency. It was also exported to several countries, including Sweden, Switzerland, Iraq, Venezuela, and New Zealand. The Venom was retired from active service by the late 1960s, and replaced by more advanced jet fighters such as the Hawker Hunter and the de Havilland Sea Vixen. Some Venoms have been preserved in museums or flown by private owners as warbirds.
