Venom Cartridge Start - Vermont, USA - 1980's

Post by Chris Trott »

Don't know the exact date on the video, but this was linked from another site, thought it had great sound quality and showed that even those of us on this side of the pond can appreciate British designs. :)

Agree about the nose Peter

I find it has an odd 'upside down' look about it :think:

Dont want to be pedantic, :roll: but the location is Middlebury State Airport, Middlebury, Vermont! There is a Middleburg in Virginia so perhaps that caused the confusion.

So where did these aircraft end up? I assume they were just restored in Vermont

Interesting video, thanks for posting the link. I always like to watch an aircraft cartridge start, makes it more interesting then just pushing a button!
