Its enlarged tail boom allowed for additional fuel tanks in the "pinion" extensions above and in front of the wing leading edge, there was an improved escape system and additional room for more electronic countermeasures ECM equipment.

Visually the FAW. Overall, a total of 29 FAW. In , the original FAW. The aircraft carriers HMS Ark Royal and Eagle were both planned to be refitted to properly carry and fly the new fighters.

A small number of Sea Vixens subsequently saw service in the less glamorous role of drones, in which capacity they were redesignated as the Sea Vixen D.

Only four aircraft were converted to the D. The de Havilland Sea Vixen was a jet-powered fleet defence fighter, equipped with a modern radar and air-to-air missiles for its primary role.

When it entered service, it was the first British aircraft to be solely armed with missiles, rockets and bombs; it was also the first fighter aircraft operated by the Fleet Air Arm with no gun armament.

The fuselage comprises several sections, the principal being the one-piece central and stub-wing assembly section. Various electrical compartments are located aft of the front spar, above the wing, which are accessible through hatches.

The powered folding wing made use of a pair of wing-fold joints which involved a total of six main attachment points.

The Sea Vixen had a crew of two, a pilot and a radar operator. The pilot's canopy was offset to the left-hand side of the fuselage, while the radar operator sat to the right completely within the fuselage , the latter gaining access to his position through a flush-fitting top hatch, nicknamed the "Coal Hole".

The flying controls of the Sea Vixen were relatively complex, which controlled the fully powered tailplane, ailerons , and rudder ; these controls remained usable even in the absence of electrical power, such as in the event of a double engine failure.

An intricate three-section flap arrangement was employed, partially due to the nature of the wing's geometry. The aircraft did not take part in any true wars during its career with the Fleet Air Arm though it took part in many operations.

In response to Kuwait's appeal for external help, the United Kingdom dispatched a number of ships to the region, including two fleet carriers.

Sea Vixens aboard the fleet carriers flew patrols in the region, and Kassem's aggressive actions wilted in the face of the strong naval presence, thus averting a war over Kuwait.

In January , trouble flared in the East African state of Tanganyika after the 1st and 2nd Tanganyika Rifles mutinied against the British officers and NCOs who, despite Tanganyika being independent, still commanded the regiment.

The mutineers also seized the British High Commissioner and the airport at the capital Dar es Salaam. The Sea Vixens, flying off Centaur , performed a number of duties including the providing of cover for the Royal Marines who were landed in Tanganyika by helicopters.

The operation "to restore Tanganyika to stability" ended in success. That same year, Sea Vixens of HMS Centaur saw service once again in the Persian Gulf , including the launch of air strikes against rebel forces, this time supporting British forces fighting against locals disgruntled by the loss of tolls in the Radfan.

Sea Vixens saw further service during the s, performing duties on Beira Patrol , a Royal Navy operation designed to prevent oil reaching landlocked Rhodesia via the then Portuguese colony of Mozambique.

The Sea Vixen also saw service in the Far East. Of the Sea Vixens constructed, 55 were lost in accidents. Two DH. Data from The Great Book of Fighters [64].
