Attached is a pic of one of the recent additions to the collection at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum. We recently assembled the aircraft, which is the Venom that Sandy Topen used to operate from Cranfield, and has now become life expired. Does anyone (Martin particularly) have any pictures of it whilst on the airshow circuit, and particularly whilst in service in Switzerland.
It looks a bit sad in the attached picture, and lost a few parts whilst being used as a Christmas tree by Jet Heritage and Source, but hopefully we have enough parts to get it back in one piece again, and in working order. Similarly, if anyone can help with parts, we would love to hear from you.

Martin,
Excellent yes, there are a few new ones on there since last I looked. See if you have anything from her service days!
There was an article in an old Warbirds Worldwide regarding the aircraft. That is also in my collection!
