    Twin boom beast

    A fitting celebration of an extraordinary and unsung aircraft containing superb photos and written in an engaging way. I remember this particular aircraft serving with the DRA at Llanbedr and was privileged to witness its dynamic yet elegant displays A fine tribute also to the team that kept Foxy Lady in the air.

    Fantasic read and exceptional photos

    OK , So the Sea Vixen is one of my favourite aircraft , so apologies for being somewhat biased , sadly , my life in the FAA arrived after these beasts had long gone (just about got to touch Phantoms before the government , in their wisdom .... decing the RAF would find better use for them )

    My brother was an apprenice at De Havilland in Christchurch , and worked there for many years - (some years ago , he arranged and managed the Sea Vixen Gate Guard being sited along Somerford Road ) and also worked on the drone conversion , with XP924 at Llanbedr . His other recollection was that this Vixen suffered a Wheels Up landing at Yeovilton as some stage ?

    Anyway , its a great book , hats off to the maintenace crew and all associoated with it .

    Thank Goodness its no longer sponsored by Red Bull ....
