Sea Vixen Crash Site

High on Dartmoor's open plateau lies the scattered remains of a Sea Vixen, a supersonic naval fighter jet that crashed in 1962. The debris field sits exposed to the elements, a striking contrast between 1960s military technology and the timeless granite moorland. Finding the site requires navigation skills and respect for this place of loss.

The wreckage tells a story of the Cold War era when Dartmoor's vast emptiness made it a training ground for military aircraft. Visiting involves walking across wild, windswept terrain, the moor here is unforgiving and beautiful. The site stands as a sobering monument to those who flew from this landscape and never returned.
