Vixen 2
I too remember Marcus and John and the Vixen 2 team. Marcus had secured a contract with BMW GB to show up at track days and dealer based events. My first encounter was at Silverstone on a customer track day. Their programme was in two parts due to the WX that day. Myself and my pal Barry Bryant talked our way in to a ride to Sywell for refuelling. John allowed me to fly G-BECM in formation with Marcus and Barry. Nothing to this day has come close the thrill of that first touch of the Pitts S2a. Got a certificate signed by John to prove it. He also signed my log book. I was sitting aboard a BA 1-11 en route to Alicante on 30/06/84 and learnt of John's tragic loss from a newspaper. I have some photo's of my momentus day lurking in a box which I promise I will upload soon.
