Faithful Representation – History of the Sea Vixen FAW.1

The de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.1 was one of the first British twin-boom carrier-based jet fighters, used on Royal Navy aircraft carriers during the Cold War. The British Sea Vixen entered service in 1959 and was in use until the mid-1970s. This aircraft played a key role in air patrols, escorts, and operations off the coasts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Although it did not participate in high-intensity conflict, it remained a pillar of British naval aviation until it was replaced by more modern designs.
