ex Sweden Air Force serial 33025

This Venom was built in 1953 and served with the Flygvapnet as 33015. From 1958 it was owned by the Svensk Flygtjänst (Swedish Flight Service) and converted for target towing based at RFN Vidsel. After a couple of crashes, the first one repaired, the plane was retired and used for fire drills. It was donated to the Flygvapenmuseum at Malmslätt in 1979 but came to the Flygmuseum in 2017.

After operational use this Venom was transferred to Svensk Flygtjänst as SE-DCD for target towing duties. She was retired in 1969 and transferred to the Flygvapenmuseum collection. Now she is preserved in her original colours.

Sweden ordered sixty NF.51s, similar to the NF.2 and NF.2A, with deliveries starting as early as December 1952 - complete with flying restrictions. They were replaced by the J32B Lansen by 1960.
