The Sea Vixen fuel system was, indeed, a nightmare. We often shut down one engine on LLCAP and I spent more time (as a Looker) managing the fuel system than I spent looking for bad guys on the radar. It was even worse if you drew the short straw and ended up flying the Vixen tanker from the deck. Unlike many Lookers, I survived and moved on to F4's but I'm still waiting for my DFC!!
