DH-112 Venom Cartridge Start and Flyover 

Sorry for the jump - this thing is loud and sudden! I'll look to redeem myself soon. In the mean time, enjoy more vintage jets: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IzUL3TKlAxE.html -Ryan Subscribe to our channel for hundreds of other aviation and airshow videos!

Oh, Man, both pilot and aircraft lost one week after this video.... RIP Marty, such a sad loss.

Fascinating that ex RAF personnel could hear a rough running jet. Stunning 1950s concept and design, one of Hatfields finest.

I am sorry to hear that this aircraft and pilot were lost RIP. I served with the RAF for 14 years, and I am familiar with the Venom. In this video I was listening to the aircraft engine as it was taxying , I was thinking that the engine was sounding a bit rough and uneven, I was surprised when it took off and flew when it was sounding so rough when taxying.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your pilot. I remember the time Venoms (and Vampire-Trainers, together with Mirage 3 S/RS and the occasional F5) flew over our school (below a "training-corridor") back in the 1980s; the Venom was most impressive due to its shape and engine. (followed by the Mirage 3 with their thundering sound) Miss these old birds. Thanks for this video - it brougth back some memorys! Cheers from Switzerland!

I started to watch the video as I love the sight and sound of the Venom and was enjoying it when I saw about the loss of plane and pilot. So sad to hear of the loss. RIP Sir

thank you Marty.for showing me this beautiful plane. RIP brother

Very sorry to hear of the loss of Marty and these beautiful vintage fighter, RIP blue skies sir.

I used to work for Marty a few years back. His father, Larry, is a pilot also. Marty was an awesome guy and, a pleasure to work with. A lot of us truly miss him.

Rest in Peace Marty Tibbetts.

0:14 - That's some Dragon Ball sound effects there lol

Yes...as the late test pilot and astronaut John Young said in the late 1990s or early 2000s (regarding the aging Space Shuttle orbiters), old aircraft can have unexpected failure modes that "can bite you in the least expected ways." I doubt if any of their designers and builders ever dreamed that B-25s, P-51s, and early jet fighters would still be flying 70+ years after they were built. Those who own and fly them, including the late and to-be-lamented-and-remembered Marty Tibbitts are, however, aware of the potential risks of flying such old aircraft, and "baby" them accordingly. I must admit to having mixed feelings about seeing them continue to fly, however: Only so many of these aircraft, from those times, are still in existence, and--in addition to the occasional serious and fatal accidents involving them--with each hull loss there is one fewer around. It would be safer, and would preserve the original aircraft, if replicas were built and flown (even duplicate--down to the old-style wiring--replicas, such as the Messerschmitts and/or Focke-Wulfs that have been built and fly, are new aircraft, and thus are not subject to the failure modes of old age). A replica of the German Me-262 jet fighter (powered by modern CJ610 turbojets, housed in detailed duplicate Junkers 004 Jumo engine housings) has also been built and flown.

My Father, twin brother and I were at Strathallan, and touched the DH balsa/ply nose of a Venon. Next to it was a DH98 Mossie recently bought by a young left handed cranker whipper snapper Yank by the the name of Kermit Weeks. The fact that the local farmer had recently ploughed the adjoining runway/field was seemingly no probs for the afore mentioned Kermit. Keep up the good work Kermit.

That plane lives up to it's name, sounds fearsome... thanks for posting

It looks like a P-38 and a Voodoo had a kid. Beautiful video. Sad to hear of the loss of the pilot and hull. Prayers lifted for his family.

Beautiful plane. Absolutely classic.

Thank you for sharing this.

Very sorry to read about this loss. So tragic!

I was on Duty Crew in the R.A.A.F. when I witnessed a Canberra cartridge start. It scared the **** out of me the first time I heard it.

This is the first time I've seen this plane after clicking around Wikipedia. It's absurdly beautiful. Cheers to the designers and engineers, and RIP to those lost. 🕊️ 🇺🇸🇬🇧 It looks like it would be a great ground attack aircraft to this day.

RIP good sir....

:17 Oh damn. Didn’t did know they had a diesel plane. 😂

At a transportation museum, in SEINSHEIM GERMANY, and there are a DH venom, & a VAMPIRE in SWISS markings, as was the one at OSHKOSH. I was there on SEPT 11 2001, yeah that day..

That is a very unique startup process!!! Thanks for sharing these amazing video's with us fellow aviation enthusiasts!!

The Jewel of the Swiss Air Force, back in the days.

Looks like the A-10’s exotic cousin. Looks amazing.

RIP MAD Marty. These old planes are full of mystery and could crash at any time, sometimes supernaturally.

May he Rest in Peace.

Got to see this aircraft at air force museum in Kraków Poland, Impressive!

I remember first seeing one of these next to a Vampire. Damn are these jets small.

How tragic. I watched this video the day it was released and thought that it would be a cool reason to go... So sorry to the museums loss of a fellow pilot and friend...

Very cool looking AC. I like that it's small, like an A-37

Sad end for this pilot and this aircraft .... My most sincere condolences to friends and family ....😞😭

tell me what you want, that thing still looks cool beyond reason!

When I was a boy, here in Switzerland I saw all this stuff, the smaller Vampire, the Venom and finally of course the Hunter. That was used from the "Patrouille Swiss" formation.

Kind of reminds me of Jimmy Stewart starting the Phoenix with shotgun shells in the movie Flight of the Phoenix.

The Venom was a cool little jet ! So sad to learn of its loss with its pilot !

Cool looking plane!

great explanation well done

Can’t wait to see this in a week

sad to hear this ..RIP to the pilot

Always enjoy the older jet aircraft, why, because of the sound, its always nice to see these old warriors of the sky, sadly we will never ever see a lightning fly hear, don't know if they still fly the ones in South Africa, hope they do,!!

Never even heard of these. What a beauty.

What a frightening sound. I remember this thing terrifying me as a kid at airshows.

beautiful aircraft.

I live these cartridge startups...

The initial startup must have startled the cameraman! Notice how the video shook upon the plane starting up turbine engine. Lol

Well done to WHAM and Ultimate Aviation for returning J-1747/N747J to the air.

Amazing you still find those cartridges...

I love how his crew chief is wearing a wife beater.

That plane sounds like an old version of the future. Retro cool.

This comment is for my digital buddy, Al Go-Rhythm. First time seeing your channel. Liked, subbed and commented.

Remember rhe cartridge start up from the canberras in the 1950s. R.i.p. marty ,thanks bud.

Clear skies Marty.

Wow, I only seen this plane in warthunder. It's nice to see a real one flying for a change :)

My father used to look after the engines in Vampire, Venom and Canberra Aircraft for Rolls Royce back in the 1950's when they were sold to the Venezuelan Air Force.

Notice on start-up how the cartridge gas took three squirts to fully eject . .and take-off looked underpowered and prolonged, let alone the fluffing sound from the engine whilst taxiying . . Burner can holed or fuel feed partial blockage ? . .take a look at other venom vids.

thats the most badass way of starting a plane

The operator was frightened by the sound of the engine starting

Any word on what caused the crash yet?

RIP Mr Tibbitts. Love that head on footage at the end - fantastic - the heat haze and those rudders ! The landing looked a bit off or am I being too critical ?

👍👍👍version siguiente del vampire???

Rest in honored peace, Marty Edit; Btw I live near the point where the plane went down I saw some rare pictures of the seconds before the crash, my theory is he frogot flaps under the stress of the upcoming air show

Beautiful. Love a 1950's British jet ❤

Interesting that both jets and piston engines have used cartridge starts.

Here in South Africa we still have Vampires in our Airforce Museum. Can anyone tell me what the difference between the Venom and the Vampire is? Looks awfully similar.

Als Flugzeugmechaniker durfte ich in der RS, bei einer DH 112, 1979 in Payerne das Triebwerk starten. Hat wirklich Spass gemacht. Das Reinigen des Starter-Systems aber weiger.

Geez that camera almost left your hands at the beginning. Lol. Awesome.

Holy shit now that's a start up😍😍😍

does it run on diesel?

The Halford/goblin jet engine🥰 great stuff👍

Whay the 1st 3m?💔

Awesome, despite the tragedy

0:13 can somebody explain please...

WOW that's some engine start up i presume.

AEROTECH, a leading model rocket engine maker, got their start making power cartridges for tooling in the oil-drilling business. Down-hole tools are powered pyrotechnically: the distances from drilling rig to bore-hole end make hydraulic or electrically powered tools impractical. The cartridges burn for about 3-5 seconds, and produce a large volume of gas to run pneumatic tools like drills and wrenches. Not saying these cartridges are AEROTECH, but the technology sure looks similar!

cart starts are so friggen cool. i'm sure the maintenance guys hate it, though. Those things are nasty.

I was thinking that it sure didn't look very stable and then I read that both the plane and the pilot were lost in a fatal crash, so sad.

was this plane ever in combat if sick lil plane

RIP

R.I.P. MARTY.😟😟😟😟😟

This plane was lost in a fatal crash on July 20th 2018

That venom was such an amazing sight. People always say if only the War had lasted a bit longer look what Germany would have had. Well just look at what Britain had towards/just after the end. The Vampire and Venom. The Canberra. The Centurion tank. Not forgetting nuclear weapons of course!

RIP Marty

Mes condoléances à la famille de ce pilote, c'est bien triste. En plus un avion qui venait de chez nous.

Can anyone tell me why there’s Swiss insignias on the plane?

Awesome..........

Sorta grabbed your attention!👂🏻

How cool is that? Wow. Not an easy plane to land, though.

What a beauty

Tragic loss of a rare warbird and pilot. NTSB report states that the most likely cause of the crash was the Venom’s engine suffered a compressor stall as the Venom had taken off in the disturbed airflow of another aircraft taking off before it. The Venom pilot had taken off too soon

Brilliant

Beautiful Plane. Being more silent would be perfect.

Everytime I see a cartridge start I think of Jimmy Stewart,and little Harvey Kreuger (was that his name?) screaming at him.

I didn't realize how big those starter cartridges are... they're like 11" long and a 2-3/4" caliber.. that's one big shotgun shell!

RIP!

whats with all that smoke at start?

Why the engineers conceived a startup system with cartridges ?? External compressors didn’t exist at that time 😳😳 ?

everyone gangsta until the venom makes the DBZ sound effects

Hopefully I'll see her at Oshkosh.
