You know mate.. I've 'seen' your avatar many many times but never actually 'looked' at it until tonight when I've realised it's a Sea Vixen. What a stunning shot :rock:

Here is the original..

I came across the photo while doing some research on the SkySim Sea Vixen. After a little clean up and editing, it made a great Avatar. The source indicates it's a Mk.2 - 899 Sqn, HMS Eagle, Lt. Henry.

Hello Mate..

Tks for that.. what a blinder :thumbsup: I'd not taken too much notice of your avatar before last night but for whatever reason, I did then. I saw the 2 overwing fuel pods then noticed the refuelling probe and it could only be one aircraft ;) I've always preferred the cleaner lines of the FAW1 tbh but at the end of the day.. a Sea Vixen is a Sea Vixen which ever flavor it comes in :rock: Didn't realise you were on the Skysim project too.. perhaps I just forgot :worried:

Anyway.. great picture and thanks again for posting the fullsize version. Hope you don't mind but I've added it to my collection ;)
