Only seen it once. Hope the RNHF get the opportunities to fly it around the country a bit more widely. With Flapjack at the helm!!:eagerness:

The Vixen displayed today at RNAS Yeovilton to mark it’s change of ownership.
Jonathon put on a great display showing off the Vixen’s abilities to the Navy and the crowd of onlookers.
All went extremely well until the port main wheel burst on landing. Unfortunate but it could happen to anybody.

Only got to see her a few times but will always be remembered by the spilt S take off from Biggin Hill one year. Amazing power.
