I too would be very sad if the Sea Vixen doesn't get to fly again but for very different reasons than BEagle's. One of the key people responsible for securing that aircraft for display flying was a very old friend of mine who was also ultimately responsible for inspiring me to becoming a pilot, albeit only as a PPL. The last time I spoke to him he was really excited about displaying the Vixen at the forthcoming Farnborough show. Sadly he died of heart disease before he was able to do so. I have seen it displayed many times and it has always reminded me of the great aerial and ground adventures we shared together over many years.
