This version had the best altitude performance of the RAF two-seat Venoms and, up to 48,000ft, stood some chance of intercepting Canberras and Valiants.

Flygvapnet J 33 serial 33019 takes off at Hawarden during a test flight on July 2, 1953. The Venom was essentially a development of the same company’s Vampire, designed to exploit the de Havilland Ghost turbojet, a scaled-up version of the Vampire’s Goblin, although the various changes made the Venom virtually a new design.

Aviation Historian 30 / B.Lindwall - Whistling in the Dark

Although Flygvapnet regarded the J 33 as an interim aircraft, the type remained in front-line service for seven years, before being replaced by the Swedish-designed and -built Saab J 32B Lansen. The last of the RAF’s Venom NF.2s and NF.3s were retired from squadron service in late 1957, and the Royal Navy’s Sea Venoms in 1960.

A dynamic air-to-air photograph emphasising the J 33’s distinctive twin-boom planform. Despite the type’s similarity to the Vampire, the Venom’s wing was entirely new, a square-tipped unit of very thin section, with a straight trailing edge and 17-6° sweep on the leading edge.

Aviation Historian 30 / J.Forsgren - Nattjakt!

ALTHOUGH THE J 33 remained fairly unknown outside Sweden, one amazing photograph of it, seen here, made headlines around the world. This dramatic image, taken by Bo Bjernekull, shows the Venom from directly ahead hurtling through what looks like a meteorite belt - actually a snowstorm - at night.

“Smile, please!” - with wheels and flaps down, Venom 33057 poses for the camera during an aerial photography sortie on April 6, 1954. The type’s thin-section wing necessitated a redesign of the original Vampire undercarriage, incorporating mainwheels of larger diameter and thinner section, with single-disc hydraulic brakes.

The third Venom NF.51, serial 33003, at the de Havilland factory at Hawarden, near Chester, in May 1953, beside a pair of Swedish Vampire trainers, designated J 28C in Flygvapnet service. The J 33’s original fin/tailplane junction, seen here, incorporated forward-facing "acorn" fairings, but these were later relocated aft of the tailplane.

The Venom was fitted with airbrakes immediately outboard of the tailbooms; they are seen here in the fully open position. Also visible on this J 33 are the wing fences incorporated to eliminate tip stall during low-speed flight. The Venom’s distinctive 75 Imp gal (340lit) tiptanks were the first ever to be fitted to an RAF fighter.

Contained within the bulbous radome of the J 33 was the scanner for the same PS-20/A (SCR-720B) radar suite, known as AI Mk X in RAF service, fitted to its predecessor, the J 30 Mosquito. Note also the apertures on the underside of the fuselage for the nightfighter’s four 20mm Hispano cannon and the original framed canopy roof.

With the “clamshell” canopy and revised tail arrangement, this J 33, coded “E”, awaits its next sortie in Sweden. Flygvapnet’s sole nightfighter Wing, F1 had three squadrons, which were the only units to operate the type. Note the pair of North American Sk 16s and a Junkers B 3, as used to train J 33 navigators, in the background.

With its short undercarriage enabling easy access to all parts of the airframe and powerplant, the J 33 proved to be a rugged and adaptable nightfighter, capable of operating in the harshest Arctic winters. The revised clamshell canopy, seen here, was a great improvement over the original.

In terms of military programmes in the mid-1950s, de Havilland was committed to production of various types for the British air arms and export, including single-seat and two-seat Venoms for the RAF and two-seat Sea Venoms, including FAW.3 WM569 seen here, for the Fleet Air Arm. The company was also developing the D.H.110.

The cockpit of the two-seat Venom was somewhat “cosy”, especially with the original framed canopy, as seen here. Not fitted with ejection-seats, the J 33 presented a challenge in the event of the crew having to bale out. The proximity of pilot and navigator did, however, create a beneficial environment for close teamwork.

Interestingly, this J 33 has the original canopy but the revised fin and tailplane arrangement, with the acorn fairings relocated aft of the taiiplane, a modification made to reduce the possibility of tail buffeting at high speed.

Westland W.34 Wyvern TF. Mk. 1 (VR133), one of the ten production models of the piston-engined Wyvern. The eight-blade Rotol contraprop was driven by a 2,690-h.p. Rolls-Royce Eagle, with twenty-four cylinders arranged in H-fashion. (Silver overall.) Blackburn B.54 (YA-5), the first prototype (WB781) of this two-seater, powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine driving contra-rotating propellers, flew for the first time on 20th September 1949. The second prototype (WB788), also carrying the type number B.54, was a three-seater and was designated YA-7. It was an interim test vehicle de­signed to the Fairey Gannet Naval Specification GR.17/45. Experience was gained with this machine, powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon, and paved the way to the turboprop-powered (2,950-e.h.p. Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba A.S.
