EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Mk.20X XF828, a significant prototype in the development of the Sea Vixen fleet. The Sea Vixen was a versatile, all-weather, twin-engine, carrier-borne fighter aircraft, designed primarily for the Royal Navy. In this image, XF828 is depicted during its semi-navalised stage, featuring a strengthened undercarriage and arrestor hook, yet without the folding wings that would later become a defining characteristic of the Sea Vixen. The Sea Vixen prototype first took to the skies on 20 June 1955, marking the beginning of an impressive aviation journey. On 5 April 1956, history was made when XF828 became the first Sea Vixen to perform an arrested landing aboard HMS Ark Royal, demonstrating the aircraft's suitability for carrier operations. After its groundbreaking achievements, XF828 was allocated to RNAS Culdrose on 28 November 1960 for Ground Instruction with the School of Aircraft Handling. Unfortunately, by 1978, XF828 had met its end and perished on the fire dump. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Mk.20X XF828, a trailblazing aircraft that played a crucial role in the evolution of naval aviation. The Sea Vixen's legacy continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, making this image a must-have for any aviation collection.
