This Sea Venom was built in Chester in 1957. It went on to fly from carriers until 1960 then, after a period in storage, was based at Yeovilton. Final retirement came in 1970 after which it was acquired by the De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre. The plane will be reassembled for display once space allows.
