Venom DisplayDuration: 8 mins
Designed to replace the Vampire, the Venom
was developed by deHavilland in 1948 and
boasted a thinner, more swept back wing as
well as a more powerful Ghost engine. The
first of its type flew on 2 September 1949 and
entered service in 1952, lasting until 1983. It
had four 20mm cannons in the nose and could
carry rockets or bombs beneath the wings.
Avro Anson DisplayDuration: 6 mins
An historic aircraft that first went into
operation in 1936 and were last used by the
Royal Afghan Air Force before withdrawal
from service in 1972. With only a handful still
flying today, she is indeed a unique piece of
aviation history.

Battle of Britain Memorial FlightDuration: 10-12 mins
A Spitfire and Lancaster, two of the
most iconic and historic aeroplanes ever

take place over the inner harbour.
