Author: David Manley

Pic: Sea Venom catapulted into action.

Three Sea Venoms of 893Sqn, FAA are attacking an Egyptian airfield close to Port Said on the opening day of the operation. Each is armed with 20mm cannon and four rocket packs. The Sea Venoms arrive as four Egyptian Mig 17s have made it into the air. The Migs are armed only with their guns.

The Migs start at the centre of the Central Deployment Zone at altitude 10, speed 10, heading East in line astern. The Sea Venoms start in the Western Deployment Zone at any speed, height and heading.

Points scoring is simple: 5 points per kill, 2 points per opposing aircraft which leaves the playing area, highest score wins.
