ground attack in Malaya and Sea Venoms operated in Korea


No Sea venoms that I'm aware of. Only the Colossus-class light fleets

were
deployed to Korea, and they had air groups of Seafires or Sea Furies and
Fireflies.


Quite right they arrived too late for service in Korea now I think
about it, I suspect they were used over Suez though.


From the last asking/reading about that particular mistake, Suez
featured Venoms, (Sea Vemons?), Squarks, Wyverns, Meteors, Valiants
and Canberras. And Vampires, on the Egyptian side, plus some Soviet
types (Tu-16, I think, amongst others)
