EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.1 (XJ475) - A Postwar Maritime Aviation Icon from the Royal Air Force Museum" The captivating image before you showcases the De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.1 (XJ475), a legendary maritime aviation asset from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum's extensive collection. This photograph, taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, transports us back to the postwar era when the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the Royal Navy relied on such formidable aircraft to protect the United Kingdom's shores. The Sea Vixen FAW.1, a two-seat, all-weather, carrier-borne strike and reconnaissance aircraft, was a significant development in British postwar aviation. Its sleek, aerodynamic design was a testament to De Havilland's engineering prowess, featuring a delta wing configuration and a pair of powerful Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines. The Sea Vixen was equipped with an array of advanced systems, including radar and an under-wing weapons pod, making it a potent force against maritime threats. XJ475, the specific Sea Vixen depicted in this photograph, was the first production aircraft of its type, making its first flight on May 25, 1955. It went on to serve with various squadrons within the FAA, including 892 Naval Air Squadron, before being retired in 1973. Today, this historic aircraft resides at the RAF Museum, a testament to the ingenuity and bravery of the men and women who flew and maintained these remarkable machines. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of postwar maritime aviation, as well as the enduring legacy of the De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.1 within the annals of British military aviation.
