Gainsay,

Thanks for that. I've wanted a copy of that picture for years. If you can send a better quality copy of it, please contact me with a private message.

I was on 214 Sqdn at that time and I remember the picture being up in the crew room with various 'balloons' from the Sea Vixen with comments about 'Please don't suck too hard' etc.

As an aside, see the thread 'Valiant XD869 - Crash at Marham 1959'. The Crew Chief that was killed in that crash, Bob Sewell, was the Crew Chief of XD858 the A/C suckling the Sea Vixen, he took the fatal flight because of the other Crew Chief being ill.
