DescriptionPlan of VENOM, pen on paper, by Ben Lexcen (then Bob Miller). Handwritten on reverse reads: This is a particularly good example of Bob's perspective drawing real 'arty". Note on the fishs [sic] eye view, the cavitation plates on the rudder. Gives a good idea of VENOM rounded topside. Sorry about its ink stain. The fin is a truncated version of a spitfire wing. The other [?] had the end plate on was much narrower and parallel sided.
