SEA VIXEN G-CVIX XP924 at Duxford
The Sea Vixen is an iconic all-British twin-boom, twin-turbojet fighter that flew from Royal Navy aircraft carriers at the height of the Cold War in the 1960s and 70s, helping to transform the nation’s carrier aviation capability. She was one of the UK’s most notable aircraft designs of the time, with cutting edge technology and the capability to go transonic. The Vixen was the first British aircraft to be armed with guided missiles, rockets and bombs instead of guns and was formidably capable.
With power-folding swept wings and hinged nose-cone, she epitomised the radical and innovative thinking of British engineers and designers of the time, whose designs overcame the challenges of operating the UK’s all-weather interceptor at sea, day and night.
Today, Sea Vixen G-CVIX XP924 is the only flying Sea Vixen in the world. Based at RNAS Yeovilton and flying in 899 Naval Air Squadron colours from HMS Eagle, she plays a key role in the story of the evolution of the nation’s carrier aviation heritage.
On Return to her base at Yeovilton after this display the undercarriage failed and the pilot made a controlled belly landing, fortunately the pilot walked away after a smooth touch down, There is now an appeal for funds to get her flying again as she was the last one flying.
I have just been onto the Fly Navy Website (Oct 2022) and not enough funding came forth so she won't be flying again.
Link to the final wheels up landing what great airmanship!
