The de Havilland DH.100 Sea Vixen was the first British combat aircraft with two seats to hit supersonic speed. The design used for the aircraft borrowed elements of the company’s first-generation jet fighters, the de Havilland Vampire and de Havilland Venom. The Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Army used these from the 1950s to the early 1970s. They put the DH.100 in combat during the Aden Emergency. By 1972, The Royal Navy retired the aircraft in favor of the American constructed McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 interceptor.
