Nightfighters
Hi,
I am a new member and have read a number of the strings with interest. My own particular area of interest is RAF jet nightfighters of the 1950s. At the moment I am researching DH Venom NF ops. Can anyone assist? Will be away from 160807 until 310807 and so will be unable to respond to replies until then. Last edited by jonspi; 15th August 2007 at 20:01. |

Re: Nightfighters
I served as a nav/rad during the 50's. Flew in all 4 marks of the Meteor, but am very pleased to say never set foot in a Venom.

Re: Nightfighters
You may both find much of interest in a very recent book. The History of Air Intercept Radar and the British Nightfighter, 1935-1959, but Ian White, published by Pen and Sword, ISBN 978-1-84415-532-3. A proper history book, not just a collection of anecdotes, written by a telecommunications expert.

Re: Nightfighters
Hi Graham
Actually received a copy of the book yesterday. It appears to be very comprehensive and well written. Unfortuneately the publishers forgot to include the photos which the author had collected. I had a very small input to the book, so of course I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in night fighters and radar.

Re: Nightfighters
Hi Peter,
I don't suppose you served on 72 Sqn by any chance. I am doing research for a book on the squadron. Yours Tom |
