It's a shame that the undercarriage failed. There are many other Sea Vixens to see in museums, and as Malcolm says, one or two don't need a lot of work to make airworthy. I was fortunate to see the MOD's Me109G6 flying at Duxford once, but she also ended her flying career after an unfortunate landing accident. She is now on view at Hendon RAF Museum. The major problem facing these old warbirds will be the new regulations and restrictions imposed after the crash of the Hunter at Shoreham. Some small airshows won't be able to afford the extra costs, and even some large shows may be reduced in scope.
