The aeroplane herself is unconvinced and still calls herself a King Air below the cockpit window. Departure day, Malta airshow 2015.

Found as a heap of parts in France, the aircraft took to the air again in 1973 as G-APUP after a 13-year rebuild, and was recognized as original by the CAA.

The prototype Short Seamew demonstrating at the 1954 Farnborough Air Show. This view clearly shows its planform with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. This erstwhile anti-submarine type did not enter operational service with the Royal Navy as had been intended.

With the insignia of RNAY Sydenham featuring the red hand of Ulster, this Sea Vixen was decommissioned in 3.84 and sent to the fire school at RAF Catterick where it was burnt out by 1988. On 28.1.63 while serving with 893 NAS, it was one of four hit by XJ585 during a night landing accident aboard HMS Centaur, but was repairable.
