EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic moment of the first de Havilland DH.112 Venom prototype, registration number VV612, taking to the skies for its maiden flight on 2nd September 1949. The Venom, a single-engined jet aircraft, was developed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom during the post-war era. The aircraft's sleek design and advanced jet technology marked a significant milestone in aviation history. Piloted by the skilled aviator, John Derry, the Venom prototype lifted off from Hatfield, Hertfordshire, marking the beginning of extensive testing and evaluation. The Venom was a versatile aircraft, designed for both day and night interception and ground-attack roles. Its powerful de Havilland Ghost 45 engine enabled it to reach impressive speeds and altitudes, making it a formidable addition to the Royal Air Force's inventory. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, as the de Havilland DH.112 Venom prototype embarks on its inaugural flight, paving the way for a new generation of jet aircraft and solidifying the reputation of the de Havilland Aircraft Company as a leader in aviation innovation.
