A de Havilland Vampire of course. In Leicestershire so I assume it's retuning home from Waddington airshow. A pretty rare sight I should imagine.

I've always liked the noise they make on a fly past.

It was probably that then. They do look very similar.

The main difference is in the wings. The Venom had some mild sweepback on the leading edge and usually featured tip-tanks..
