History
The Sea Venom was the navalised version of the Venom NF.2 two-seat night-fighter. The necessary navalisation modifications for use on the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers included folding wings, a tail hook and strengthened undercarriage. The first prototype made its first flight in 1951, and began carrier trials that same year. A further two prototypes were built.
The final Royal Navy variant of the Sea Venom was the FAW.22 and it was powered by the De Havilland Ghost 105 engine. Thirty-nine of this type were built in 1957/58. Some were later fitted out with the De Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missile.
