This Venom was delivered to F 1 in Västerås during August 1953 and wore the scheme in which it is on display today. Between 1960 and 1969 it was on the Swedish register as SE-DCD and painted yellow for use as a target tug with Svensk Flygtjänst AB. In January 1969 the plane was handed over to the historic flight collection as Malmen for restoration and display.

On 31 Augusts 1953, this Venom NF51 was accepted by the Swedish Air Force, which designated the type J33. In 1960, it was sold to Svensk Flygtjänst AB as SE-DCD, and deregistered as such in January 1969. In August 1976 it was first reported with the excellent Flygvapenmuseum in Malmen, which exhibits the aircraft in its Cold War room.

Delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1953 and withdrawn in 1960. It than went for target towing duties to Svenks Flygtjänst as SE-DCD, where it served until 1969.

The two-seat Venom night fighter first flew in 1950 and was supplied to the Royal Air Force as an interim type from 1953, but the Venom NF.2 and NF.2A had various issues and were replaced by the NF.3 mark in 1955, only a year before the Gloster Javelin entered service. Sweden ordered sixty NF.51s, similar to the NF.2 and NF.2A, with deliveries starting as early as December 1952 - complete with flying restrictions. They were replaced by the J32B Lansen by 1960.
