EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.1 XJ481, proudly displayed at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in RNAS Yeovilton. The Sea Vixen, a British carrier-borne attack aircraft, served the Royal Navy with distinction from the late 1950s until the late 1970s. XJ481 holds a significant place in the history of the Sea Vixen, as it was used extensively for various electro-optical equipment trials during its tenure in the fleet. In this image, XJ481 is seen fitted with an advanced Ferranti LRMTS (Laser Rangefinder and Marked Target Seeker) system in its nose. The LRMTS was a cutting-edge technology for its time, designed to enhance the aircraft's targeting capabilities and improve the accuracy of its weapon delivery. The system used a laser designator to mark targets and a thermal imaging system to detect them, providing the pilot with a clear and precise targeting solution. The photograph was taken circa 1976, a time when the Sea Vixen was nearing the end of its operational life with the Royal Navy. XJ481's presence at the Fleet Air Arm Museum serves as a testament to the aircraft's historical significance and its contributions to the development of naval aviation technology. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Sea Vixen's impressive design and the advanced technology that made it a formidable force in the skies.
