EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and powerful de Havilland Venom NF.3 WX795, a formidable aircraft that once graced the skies as a frontline fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The image, captured at RAF Coltishall, depicts the aircraft in its element, ready for action. The Venom NF.3, with its distinctive inverted gull-wing design, was an evolution of the de Havilland Venom FB.11, which had already proven itself as a successful fighter-bomber during the Korean War. The NF.3 variant was specifically designed for the night fighter role, equipped with advanced radar and weapon systems. Its potent armament included four 20mm cannons and up to 2,000 pounds of bombs or rockets. No. 141 Squadron, based at RAF Coltishall, was one of the RAF's elite night fighter units. Operating the Venom NF.3, they provided essential air defense against potential threats, both during the Cold War and in various peacekeeping missions around the world. The squadron's history is marked by numerous successes and accolades, a testament to the skill and dedication of its pilots and ground crew. This photograph captures the essence of the Venom NF.3's prowess and the unwavering commitment of the RAF's night fighter units. The image is a poignant reminder of the vital role these aircraft played in protecting the skies and maintaining peace and security during a pivotal period in aviation history.
