Has the Sea Vixen been fixed yet ?

Rick

[Chopper81]

I work in the next hanger along on the voyager conversions they haven't had the doors open much since it had the issues on landing! I would have thought by the time the air festival is here she'll be up and flying again....I'm here to lend a hand if needed!

[Chopper81]

Just spotted this on airfest website

Also confirmed are the Tigers parachute display team, the SWIP Team duo, Sea Vixen, Miss Demeanour, Breitling Wingwalkers, Chinook, Lynx and a thrilling re-enactment of a daring sea rescue of a downed pilot featuring a Catalina, Me109, P-51 and a Spitfire

Sounds cool

[Disaster Area]

Heard this evening that the Vulcan is now confirmed for both Sat and Sun of the airshow

[jules48]

Does anyone know if the Vulcan will be based at Bournemouth for the airshow as it also displaying at Shoreham.
Cant see it doing round trips each day to and from Robin Hood

[mrshu]

Come on TVOC - let's see the Vulcan on the ground in Bournemouth for just one more time - Please!!! I'm sure it won't get grounded this time as lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place and I'm sure that Cobham will want it for their families day on the Friday won't they???
With the Sea Vixen being based at Bournemouth as well, it would be a fitting tribute to both organisations if you'd carry out another memorable formation with both aircraft on the Saturday and Sunday, especially when you consider the issues that both the TVOC and the Sea Vixen team have had to overcome this season with unfortunate incidents earlier in the year!

Come on TVOC - "Please bring 558 to Hurn for one last time and support the Sea Vixen team!!!"

Let's make a few more noises on this forum to ensure that it happens as I know both organisations check in here regularly!

Quiet in this thread, thought there would be more posts due to it being a huge air show over 4 days and for free! Anyway, does anyone have any idea what the P-51 will be?

It will be Ferocious Frankie, and it is involved in a WW2 rescue re-enactment with A Spitfire, Catalina and an Me109...
