Towards the end of its service life, the original Sea Vixen drawings were kept in a small store room at the end of the main drawing office at Brough. Some of the original drawings were by then, pretty tatty, but some had been traced and were beautifully drawn in ink on linen. There was one particular drawing of the engine driven accessory gearbox that was absolutely fantastic, every nut, bolt, washer, split pin and spline fully detailed.
I resolved that just before the drawings were going to be disposed of, I would borrow that particular one and have it framed on my living room wall. Alas I missed my chance, the next time I visited the store room they had all gone, presumably to a museum somewhere. Perhaps they are now kept by the de Havilland museum in London Colney?
