Nowadays in the FAA Museum store with standard nose and RN grey/white paintwork, this Sea Vixen spent much of its flying career on various trials, including night and deck landing, carrying this striking black/white scheme for Martel missile tests from 1968. Only recently withdrawn when seen here, it was often moved, going to Portland, Ilkeston, Southampton and Fleetlands before settling back at Yeovilton This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
