Venom alive!

Post by Tom Everitt AFG »

Our Venom burst into life today for the first time this year after a protracted period of maintenance. As Kennet's is currently without insurance, ours will be the only airworthy Venom once it flys towards the end of next month.

No, it's the other Jon on Classic Flight. He's the Chief Pilot.

The middle pic in that shot Peter, what kind of bomber is that? Can't tell from here if it's a Washington or a Bear...
