Two prototypes were built of the de Havilland D.H.110, originally produced as a transonic two-seat all-weather fighter for the RAF. The first, WG236, flew at Hatfield on September 26, 1951. The all-black second prototype, WG240, first flew on July 25, 1952, both being powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce Avon jet engines. Despite the tragic loss of WG236 when it broke up during a demonstration at the SBAC Show, Farnborough, on September 6, 1952, killing John Derry and his observer, the D.H.110 was eventually ordered into production for the Royal Navy, entering service as the Sea Vixen F(AW) Mk 1 in July 1959.
