Recent UBV photometry and spectroscopy of the symbiotic nova PU Vul support the scenario of a thermonuclear runaway event, where the system consists of a mass-losing M-giant massive component and a C-O dwarf accreting hydrogen-rich matter; these give the outward appearance of an F-supergiant. No radial velocity changes were observed in the course of the photometric minimum in 1980, excluding the possibility of its being explained by an eclipse of the F supergiant by the M giant. It is also noted that photometric bluing occurred during the time of the most negative radial velocities.
