Certainly is a Vixen at Brunty, and the crew that looked after it had done wonders over the years to get it to a running and taxiable condition, and I remember seeing a video clip from back in 2013-2015 timeframe? of it doing a slow taxi around under its own power, with wing fold/unfold etc.
I'm not sure who owns the Vixen there though, and if not David Walton, then its future is pretty bleak unless it can be moved to another location pretty soon, which for a running and taxiable Vixen would be a crying shame.
