Just come across the above thread which says as part of the fly past scheduled for this afternoon a historic sea vixen will take part – does anyone know anytihng more about this as I am suprised it hasnt already been discussed on here already.

Two Hawks in formation with what looked like Bae125’s, Two harriers and the Sea Vixen flew over Sheppy,
Saw on the local news.

The Sea Vixen departed Yeovilton this morning after carrying out a full practice display, it was due to RTB at BIA and then later to take part in a flypast with the 2 currently based Hawks at Yeovilton who had relocated to BIA

Sitting in a pub garden at Bodiam today the Sea Vixen flew over just to the south of me. Headed WSW at about 1.30pm with another pair of jets a little further south than the SV. Just too far to make out what (without my glasses!) but possibly Hunters or Harriers? A nice sight though.
