All images on this page © the author. These pictures were taken at RNAS Yeovilton on September 29 2001 at a reunion open to all ex-Sea Vixen fliers, maintenance crews and partners. There were also some aviation enthusiasts in attendance. Stopped, folding mainplanes.

There was another signal to indicate 'wing fold'. This was in the form of holding the arms outstreatched to the side and the bending at the elbows bringing finger tips together to an apex above the head. Wings folded.

The starboard wing-fence, between wing-fold and wing-tip, is clearly visible, as are the pitot probes. The wing fence was suprisingly rigid, despite its thin cross section, due to its internal 'honeycomb' construction. The internal rocket pack bulges are also clearly visible either side of the nose undercarriage. Feel free to e-mail me with any comments and feedback.
