    Yes welcome Anna. I would of been just five years old at the time so not old enough to remember this sad event. What a terrible tragedy and loss of life for the pilots who died doing what they loved so much, and for the families they left behind.

    As Roger says please feel free to share any other memories or photos you may have of yours and your fathers time whilst flying.

    Rob.

    “Vultures”? Hardly. Someone who had good intentions and was genuinely prepared to pump large amounts of money into the acquisition, restoration, preservation and long term well being of a previously ‘forgotten’ aeroplane can hardly be likened to a ‘scavenger feeding on dead carcasses’.

    So let me get this straight. Whilst driving along you put your drivers visor down in front of you, so you could look at your vanity mirror, in drizzling rain :eek:? Strewth, just glad i wasn’t in the car in front of you!

    Thanks again Dave.
    The coating of dust on it sat in the hangar probably tells its own story of a period of inactivity.

    Thanks, as i thought then, ex RAN. Be great to hear and see more of it in the future, especially considering like the RNHF Sea Hawk it is / was the sole airworthy example of its type.
    Anyone know of any other hooked Venoms that are being restored to fly?

    Thanks Dave. Any idea if it was airworthy when sold, and what the price was that it went for?

    Also as it is an FAW.53 then i presume its an ex RAN machine?

    Thanks. Any idea how long ago it flew, as i don’t recall hearing about a Sea Venom taking to the air again?!

    Newforest – Although i realise they have/had examples of both i was referring to the Venom.

    tbyguy – Thanks for that, but sadly i cannot remember what its identity was.

    I seem to recall a photo of it included in a magazine article about Amjets operations, and given the companys ability it seemed at the time the best chance of getting one flying again.
