Foxy Lady has dramatic belly landing.
The last Sea Vixen plane bursts into flames as it crashes on the runway after its landing gear failed before the pilot walks away unscathed after incredible manoeuvre. Sea Vixen XP924 'Foxy Lady' is operated by Fly Navy Heritage Trust Navy Wings. It first flew on September 23, 1963 and was delivered to 899 Squadron at RNAS Yeovilton on December 18, 1963. Retirement from active service saw her sent to the Royal Naval Aircraft Yard at Belfast in August 1971.

From the article: "...the Vixen 'epitomised the radical and innovative thinking of British engineers and designers of the time'. Then, "Of the 145 Vixens constructed, 54 of them were lost in accidents, including burst tyre, canopy shattering and engine problems."

(Okay I can see the canopy coming off, but that's not saying much.)
