Soon to be released DeHavilland Venom for FSX acceleration, a few more weeks work should see it completed.
Peter Watkins has promised some re-paints, there are a quite a few to choose from.
Two models, the FB1 and FB4.
All the usual animations and weapons loads, and there is a superb new cartridge start effect by Brian Franklin.
Although the Venom never saw front line service in its homeland, it did see much service in the far flung corners of the Empire. The RAF fighter-bomber Venoms saw service during the Malayan emergency which took place between 1948 and 1960, although they did not begin operations until the mid-1950s with Nos. 45 and 60 Squadrons RAF. While there, the Venom supported operations against Communist guerrillas as part of Operation Firedog, the codename for Royal Air Force operations in Malaya. Venoms were lent to the Royal New Zealand Air Force for use in the same conflict where they operated with No.1 Squadron RNZAF.
The Venom also saw service during the Suez Crisis being operated by Nos. 6, 8 and 249 Squadrons RAF flying from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. The Anglo-French invasion, codenamed Operation Musketeer, took place in response to the nationalisation of the Suez Canal by Egypt's leader, General Nasser. The air war began on the 31 October 1956 signalling the beginning of the Suez War. The Venoms launched a number of sorties, attacking a variety of military installations on the ground. They also saw much action in the Middle East, supporting operations against terrorists in Aden and Oman, losing some aircraft in the process. Venoms additionally saw service during the Mau Mau insurgency in Kenya.
Operators of the Venom included, Iraq, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, UK.
