De HAVILLAND DH110 SEA VIXEN

$9.95

Title: De Havilland DH110 Sea Vixen No’s 1 and 2

The De Havilland Sea Vixen was originally designed as the DH110 as an all-weather interceptor for the RAF, in competition with the Gloster Javelin. The tragic 1952 Farnborough accident persuaded the RAF in favour of the Javelin but the DH110 found favour with the Royal Navy.

The first navalised Vixen flew in 1955 and made its first carrier landing in 1956. Entry into squadron service took place in 1959 and 100 examples of the initial FAW.1 version were built. The FAW.2 entered service in 1964, and featured provisions for carrying the Red Top infra-red homing missile. The twin booms had also been extended forwards to increase fuel capacity. One example, XP924, was converted to unmanned drone configuration and remained in service at RAE Llanbedr until 1991.

We offer two titles on the Sea Vixen, containing flight manuals for the main versions of the De Havilland Sea Vixen naval strike fighter, plus additional brochures which gives additional technical details, including the layout of the Observer’s cockpit.  The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
