I am an avid collector of aircraft instrument panels and have recently acquired the main instrument panel to a De Havilland Venom (at least I think so!). By chance is there anyone out there who has any photo’s, web links, or diagrams from the pilot’s notes of the Venom cockpit (British version). This would be really useful in helping me to restore the panel and acquire the correct instrumentation. I have used this site before for a similar request and it has proved very beneficial. Many Thanks in anticipation of any help.
Darrell.

Venom
Bruce, for some reason I am unable to post the pictures on this site as the file size appears to big. Could I possibly have your e-mail address to send them direct to you?. Ollieholmes thanks for the web link but it is the British version I am after.
Regards
Darrell

The Swiss Venom was very different to the British Venoms, which retained the basic blind flying panel arrangement on the single seaters.
The Night fighters were different again, and the Sea Venoms were different yet again. As I say, post an image of what you have, and we’ll see if we can decode it.
Cheers for now

Post some piccies of your panel, and I’ll tell you what you’ve got. I can probably find some more info for you then as well.
