Sea Vixen FAW.1 XJ48 and FAW.2 XP919 . Any news?

Afternoon,

Any news on these aircraft? I’ve just read about them on Thunder and Lightnings. Shame to see the Fleetlands example a shadow of it’s former self.

‘Shadow of its former self’ XJ481 was cleaned up and had its markings touched up etc for the 899NAS disbandment day, its now stored in ideal climatic conditions inside Cobham Hall at Yeovilton, walked past it today, its looking good, come and see for yourself on the next open day, 16th of September from 1000 to 1600
End of commercial 🙂

I am pretty sure XJ481 has been re-finished recently for the 899NAS disbandment back in March.
It is most definitely now undercover with the FAAM.
