Ah ok, the Sea Vixen outside your office must have been that FAW1 version that was based at the Wimborne factory? If I recall correctly, it was about half-way up the Wimborne site between where the fitting shop ended and the FRE buildings started? You probably recall some of the folks I worked with at FRE for a while....Dave Plowman, Brian Nurthen, Alan Hearne, Jack Dillon-Lee. There were more....but is nearly 40 years ago now!
