As you will know, last Friday (6th June) was the 70th Anniversary of the
D-day landings. There have been many events marking the anniversary.
Yesterday this plane cruised into Coventry Airport. Mad dash - got camera.
As to this plane's identity?
Mr LOL thinks it is a de Havilland Vampire and I am wondering if it could be a Venom.
What do I know? Maybe I should ring the airport.
I did! It is a Venom :).

Nice image.
Lovely photo!
Beautiful sky!!!
In any case, it's a beautiful shot !
I am impressed that you would guess that it is a Venom. If I were forced to guess, I would have said, "It is a plane." If told to make a second guess, I would have said, "Really, it is a plane."
How could you tell at that distance? Impressive.
That double boom tail thrills, like dehavilands mosquito or our beloved lightning. Nice job, fellow aviation buff!
Impressive shape looks pretty venomous!
I'm with Jack...definitely a plane!

Wow, this is really a great shot!
You managed to get a great photo of it against that sky.
Hey, they both start with V, it's close enough.
And I agree with Jack. Only I wouldn't be as witty.
A breathtaking shot!
I have no idea what it is, but it looks nice silhouetted against that sky!
great timing! we were on our way to williamsburg on friday and there is a huge d-day memorial not too far from us that was having a big event for the anniversary. i would have gone if we weren't leaving town!
Read the title and had no clue what you were talking about...then I thought "snake." But no, that wouldn't be a vampire.
Looks like an aeroplane to me! We saw a very strange new plane overhead Sunday while on a golf course. Kinda scary, actually.
Well spotted Lauren, you must have swung your camera up like speedy gonzales to catch this super shot, nice work :)
