Hello all, I'm John McLean's daughter; he flew No.3 with the Rothmans GB team G-BECM for about 1 or 2 years prior to it folding in 80/81. He then set up Vixen Two along with Marcus Edwards and very sadly died in a flying accident with Andy Walbridge in 1984 while practising a 3-formation over Blackpool. Have loved reading the clips on this site. From the Rothmans days I remember well Marcus and Andy, Andy's wife, Nikki, Brian Lecomber, Rod Rea, John Brobyn and Dilip Patel. As a 10 year old I had the most amazing time following the team round with my Mum. There is a John McLean Trophy which is held each year. Just thought I'd add... Thanks
