Thanks for your quick relpy Bruce, so if I have a Mk 3 pod, booms and a tail, the Venom wings, engine mount would finish off a Mk 3 looking Vampire? again thank you, Darrell

Best bet is a pair of Vampire trainer wings. Will give you the right profile (though a shade under length for a Mk3 as Bruce says) and will not require modifications to the thru spar ends.

Was helping out on a Venom nose at Airbase that is being prepared to go on display.

It is (I think) missing it’s radios. Am I right in thinking they go in the two squarish hatches either side just aft of the seat? Don’t know if they are the same as a T.11’s and I don’t know if they are needed – will enquire.

That will be a swiss Venom nose so not sure RAF equipment will fit?

Whilst on the subject of CF and Venoms, I dont suppose you have seen a spare top half of a “stubby” nose cone lying around? Looking for this to marry up with the bottom half I already have to go on VZ193 🙂

What happened to the “J” at Laarbruch??

That is more than likely ZE352 which is listed at the start of this thread.

Saw ZE352/Black Bunny the other day. Still being lovingly looked after by its owner. Sure he will be along in a bit with updates and hopefully piccies 🙂

Well if that has a chance of restoration then I revise my negative comments about the A.1 Lightning!
Makes the airworthy one mentioned previously on here for 6K look like an absolute bargain.

Well I can help with a spare stick top to get someone up and running if they take it on :p

Not sure we could get a budgie in at Speke as we are struggling for space :p:D
