"Blow On" is shown to ensure the engine bleed is open for the slots on the wings and tails, Bucc's and Phantoms all use this, it is more correctly known as Boundary Layer Control. The effect of this is to reduce the stall speed of the aerofoil by stopping the airflow detaching from the surface at low speed.s Awesome Video, thanks.

It is important to say that it is not just " steam" that is admitted in the launching cylinders but, " wet steam " in fact in the accumulator there is a lot of hot water, as it is the hot water content that keeps the saturated vapour pressure of the wet steam constant as the piston expands. Admitting dry or superheated steam will not keep the constant pressure through the whole run of the piston. So it is important to say, " WET STEAM" " Hot feed water is admitted into the steam accumulator to approximate the low operating level. The launch valve is opened to purge air from the accumulator and steam is slowly admitted into the accumulator feed water to raise the water temperature. When the water temperature reaches approximately 225 degrees, the launch valve is closed and accumulator heating continues. Steam pressure is increased in increments allowing enough time at each increment for the water temperature to increase to a predetermined temperature. This slow An increase in temperature and pressure will ensure a thermally stable accumulator when operating parameters are reached."

Californian we couldn't afford them - the economy was a basket case back in the 1960s. The Sea Vixen for all its looks was a dog. It came into service far too late for its abilities. The design goesback to the late1940s/early 1950s but didn't into service until the late 1950s/early 1960s by which time the USN had Mach 2 fighters in service. There were many causes for the delays including changes of requirements.

"Blow on" tells the pilot to ensure he has the blow system on. This is bleed air from the engine that is blown over the wings and flaps to increase lift when taking off in such a short distance and increasing lift enabling approach speed to be reduced when landing on the carrier. Phantoms and Buccaneers also gad this system.

The Supermarine Scimitar - what a fantastic looking aeroplane, no matter what angle it's viewed from!! I find FAA carrier operations fascinating. At the end of the film the Scimitar lands on and immediately turns its nose wheel hard left. Anyone know why? I'd have thought that would run the risk of the aircraft travelling over the side.

the catapult launch system is very different from that of the American one used by USN on their CATOBAR aircraft carriers . . . unlike the British method (which is innovative but complex) the bridal of the catapult is latched to the front of the forward landing gear strut of the F-14 that pulls the fighter jet forward & it's airborne in no time . . .

Little did you guys know that those retention wires cost about $12,000 a piece and have to beat machine through all these multi dyes for tensile strength and stretch ability. We make the Milwaukee wire products by the thousand and they are big money the government waste this money so badly! They use them twice actually I heard they only use it once because they don't risk using it twice! That way if they get one launch out of one wire that's fine it sample the resting wires if the arresting wires are used once they throw it away they don't want to tell you that not even in these all the videos because they cost so much money and they dump them right in the sea

One of the best DOC I've seen....military or otherwise. Less than a minute into it ... didn't seems like "1960" at all. Found out for first time, that both Sea Vixen and Scimitar are powered by the same Engine. Scimitar is one the most good-looking fighter jets.....Sea Vixen isn't a close second. If only RN and the manufacturer have foresight to combine design of these two jets into one, single fighter...the front and rear fuselage with nose and cockpit of the SV , while the wings, tail and undercarriage/landing gear are that of S

The Sea Vixen was a much larger and heavier aircraft than the Scimitar. They performed very different and distinct roles. The vixen was a night fighter/ground attack aircraft with a nuclear capability whereas the scimitar was a frontline fighter. The closest thing to a combination would probably be the F4.

I think we all know that head-dress was never worn onboard or inside, at least it wasn’t from 1979-2003, the officers in this documentary look ridiculous, and probably new it. Yes, I know, sometimes it was needed, like when VIPs or dignitaries visited, and of course when you were in front of the boss on a fizzer (charge). Thanks for sharing this interesting film 🎥 👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 P.S, when I joined the RAF in 79 some of the training aircraft we were instructed on were the Sea Vixen and bits and pieces from the Scimitars, hand me downs from the bloody Navy, perhaps because they are the senior service, but more likely that they knew how crap they were and palmed them of on us poor relations in the RAF.

They were on US Carriers, there was another pair of wires that ran from the ends of the bridle up near the hooks on the airframe and from there back to a follower on the cat track. It would catch the the bridle for re-use. They were only re-used a limited number of times. If the bridle is going to go unservicable after the a shot, they don't use the catcher and the bridle goes off the end of the cat. The ramps that stick out in front of the catapults on US Carriers are the "Bridle Catchers". They're all gone now as jets don't use bridles any more, there's a tow bar on the nose gear strut that's pulled directly by the catapult shuttle.
