Hey guys,
Just thought it was time to show some images from August when I, along with Ross, Ron and Ed were fortunate enough to catch Sea Vixen FAW2 (G-CVIX) in the Lothians, on her way back home to Bournemouth.
The aircraft had sat at Leuchars for a considerable amount of time after taking FOD on prior to departing for the RN Carrier launch at Rosyth in early July.
Thankfully a few things all came together and after a successful shake down flight, we were treated to a few passes by what I consider to be THE most gorgeous airframe in the country.
Anyway, before I go all dreamy again....
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Such an iconic airframe operating down in the weeds, is a sight that will last with me forever.
Andy

Excuse me but bl**dy hell! Not usually one for older air frames but these are fantastic!
Saw shots 1 to 3 and thought fantastic but 5 & 6 are out of this world - superb shooting and well done!
Cheers
Darren

"Fortunate enough". Talk about an understatement
TBH, i thought you must have arranged this with the crew, but i guess not!
Amazing shots, but then #5 is just ridiculous
