Vampires Venoms Questions

Hello
Information on the Vampires and Venoms sought

Were they ever used in wartime and were they successful in their rolls.

What aircraft if any did they fly against

Pictures of any actions would be appreciated

Not on this subject but still aircraft related did the British give to the
Russians Rolls Royce engines and technology that could have been used
against Americans in Korea

Yes, the British provided the Rolls Royce Nene to Russia.

What's this about "used against America"? Whatever the History Channel
may tell you, the Korean conflict was a United nations operation and
many other nations were involved.

Doesn't the involvement of the Republic of Korea, Australia, Belgium,
Canada, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and the United
Kingdom count?

The French Aeronavale used their Venoms (licence-built as SNCASE SE-202
Aquilon)
in Algeria in ground support role.

France also used the Mistral (Vampire) in air-ground operations in
Algeria and in Suez in 1956.

The UK used Vampires and/or Venoms in campaigns in Suez, Aden,
Malaya and Kenya and doubtless one or two other places as it tried
to hold on to its empire in the 50s. I think New Zealand used
Vampires in Malaya as well (or were these Venoms?).

Egypt had Vampires which I believe put in an appearance in the 1956
fighting, Rhodesia used them in the 60s and 70s in operations
against the guerrillas of ZANU and ZAPU and there are one or two
other operators/locations I'm not sure about without checking
(India in 1965?).

"used against America" was most likely just a general statement due to the
fact the USAF had an average of 9 fighter wings and 3 bomber wings deployed
during the war (with some RAF pilots assigned), while the RAF had one
Sunderland flying boat wing (2 squadrons) in Japan. The USN had 2-4 aircraft
carriers on the line during the entire war (TF 77) that flew over 301,000
strike flights. The Commonwealth had one carrier (TF 95) on the line flying
over 25,000 flights. USN escort carriers in TF 95 flew another 20,000
flights.


Indeed, but it's back to the History Channel perception that only
America was involved, as mentioned in another thread in this group.

A better picture is given here of Britain and the Commonwealth's
contribution - and wasn't that the war where a British piston engined
aircraft shot down a MiG-15?

The RAF used Venoms in Operation Firedog in Malaya against the communist
forces there.

They also used Venoms extensively in the Middle East for ground attack
against dissident tribes, etc. and in the Suez business in 1956.

What aircraft if any did they fly against

The Egyptian Air Force flew Vampires against Israeli Meteors and
Mystères in 1956, but lost several in air-to air combat.

As ®i©ardo said, the Labour government did supply the Nene to the USSR.
Clement Atlee and his friends thought Uncle Joe was a nice chap, so
decided to help him.

What happened in Korea was that pilots from the USSR were flying the Mig
15 powered by Klimov versions of the Nene, while the USN had the F9F-2
powered by the Nene-based J42.
