A friend of mine was a FJ Observer in the RN who trained on the SV but then moved on to the mighty F4 on 767 NAS.
Lovely chap, but he wasn't a fan of the SV - I'm sure he said he spent most of his time on SVs managing the fuel!
Very dangerous times - in his words, if you were going to meet your maker, it would be when deck landing at night! Can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like strapped into the 'coal hole' of a Sea Vixen...
Brave chaps.
