Classic British Aircraft De Havilland Sea Vixen

This twin engined, two seat carries borne interceptor flew with the Fleet Air Arm from the 1950s to the early 1970s. When it entered service, it was the first British aircraft to be solely armed with missiles, rockets and bombs; this made it the first fighter aircraft operated by the Fleet Air Arm with no gun armament. Sadly of the 145 Sea Vixens constructed, 55 were lost in accidents.
