For me, I am always confusing the Javelin and Sea Vixen. With
similar
performance

I'm pretty sure the DH110 at least could break the sound barrier
(possibly not in level flight, mind).


It was supersonic in a dive and DeHavilland had plans
for a version with thin wings that would have been
capable of Mach 1.4 in level flight

and both bush pig-ugly

Highly subjective of cours,e but I always thought the Vixen a fairly
elegant looking bird.


Agreed although the off centreline cockpit looks a little odd.
