Venture Airways provided an all First Class service linking Coventry with Paris CDG. The aircraft had F class seats in a 1-2 configuration. Small world that it was, one of the Venture Airways company executives lived next door to my parents. Shortly after they commenced operations he invited me to sample their service. This photo was taken early morning prior to my departure to Paris CDG. It was a wonderful experience, but sadly Venture Airways' existence was short-lived as they could not compete with the multi-frequency options offered by established airlines from nearby Birmingham Airport.

I'm posting this poor quality photo in absence of any other. Leased from Dan-Air London (G-BEKD) Jul 83 until Dec 85. Returned to Dan-Air. Later became EI-BSF with a small Irish airline called Ryanair!
