Hole in the ground 50 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 All, Im looking for some drawings of the Vickers Venom. I've done a bit of a scour of t'interwebs but the best drawings that I've found so far are in my copy of Putnam's Vickers. Theres a few profiles about but they dont look to be particularly accurate. Is there a Vickers archive that I could try? Or does anyone have any other good source? Ta Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Boak 7,080 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The Brooklands Museum will have some kind of Vickers archive, 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jure Miljevic 813 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hello Not of an archive quality, but it should do in emergency: I found it on this webpage, linked to from Dinger's aviation pages here, both well worth taking a closer look. I hope it helps. Cheers Jure Link to post Share on other sites
Hole in the ground 50 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Jure thanks, I have found those pages and that drawing already. If I cant find anything more definitive I may try to redraw my own based on the available drawings and photos. Link to post Share on other sites
Seahawk 2,669 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I can't swear this aircraft is in it but I would look in the excellent book Interceptor by James Goulding (Ian Allen, 1986). Has 1/72 drawings of most interceptors from at least the mid-30s onward. I have been told Goulding was a draughtsman at Glosters during the war so I doubt he would have overlooked it. Sorry, away from my references so can't check at the moment: maybe someone else can. Link to post Share on other sites
