Last flying Sea Vixen crash at EGHH

Post by VulcanDriver »

The last flying Sea Vixen skidded off the runway during landing is now blocking the runway at Bournemouth Airport. The nose leg and one main U/C leg is damaged and is waiting to be lifted. No news of how much damage has bee caused, but it is hoped it can be repaired for the 2012 display season.

Yes its in FAA colours again. I had the honour of working with her when she was at Jet Heritage in the early 2000s. Looks like it was the nose leg that collapsed. Its hoped she'll being flying again soon.
