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.
Coal fired :green:

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

What a wonderful photo, thanks for showing Tom.
Just hope there are none of these green enviromentalists lurking around when her engine is fired up!!!!
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

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...
