About This File

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this model. The aircraft is significantly stable and well-damped about all axes, particularly in roll, which makes tracking targets relatively easy. The engine spools up rapidly, but it is a little underpowered relative to opposing MiG-17s. Mind you, you have lower wing loading and can make mincemeat of them if they decide to try and turn with you. Staying down at low level improves your chances of survival (and the Venom was used extensively in 2ATAF and during Suez as a tactical fighter-bomber, having better range and payload carrying performance than either the Hunters that succeeded it or the contemporary Canadair Sabres. Worth using in any of the 1956 campaigns, when they made up the mainstream of the RAFG attack wings.
