Grizzly Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Has anyone got or seen an in service picture of a sea vixen carrying 1000lb bombs?Selwyn The Vixen like the Phantom FG1 had a secondary strike roll & could could carry 500lb bombs on the four inner wing hard points or two 1,000lb bombs on the outer wing hard points . It could also carry 2,000lb bombs on the outer hard points or one red beard nuclear bomb & one fuel tank. Pictures are rear & I cannot find the one I have of them being carried. Hope this is of use to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Many thanks Guys. Just what I was looking for. Also The Picture with the British 2000lb bomb is very rare. I think these bombs were only used by the Royal Navy. Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 ....but so was the Sea Vixen, no? In flying service yes, But I did my RAF Armourers weapon load training phase (including 1000lb bomb) on Sea Vixen on a RAF instructional airframe back in (my god!) 1979!
