ENIGMA OF BRITISH AVIATION
In FlyPast October 2026 we reflect on one of the enigmas of British aviation - the perhaps underrated de Havilland Sea Vixen. Indisputably British-looking, the Sea Vixen was utterly distinctive, or eccentric some might say, but was it as good as it looked? We examine the intriguing jet’s development and history, shine a light on some of its more memorable colour schemes, and profile a preserved example.

Plus, as we went to press, the world’s sole surviving Blackburn Beverley was being reassembled at Solway Aviation Museum. There’s also reports on first flights for prize-winning Catalinas and Mustangs. Much to look forward to!
