  • Beauty, it looks like a child from mommy spitfire and daddy FW 190.

  • @ZeekWolfe1 The Sea fury Hercules engine was so powerful it required a 5 bladed prop to absorb the horsepower.

  • I was at HMAS Albatross in the late 1950s when the last Sea Furies were withdrawn from service. To mark the occasion two senior pilots in Sea Furies 'beat-up' the airfield for about 10 minutes. I can tell you it was a very impressive display of action-packed flying. The RAN used them during the Korean War flying from the carrier HMAS Sydney; using rockets and 20mm cannons they could pack quite a punch.

  • Peter Carmichael in a Sea Fury shot down a Mig jet in Korea!

  • My grandad made the engines for these in the second world war if i recall correctly. Funny thing is taht until recently he thought that the engines he was making turned out to be no good!

  • The aeroplane is fabuous.

    The sound is magnificent!.

  • @petrucci973 Turbo prop?? I don't think so. Dem's proper pistons in cylinders, laddie...

  • @zeekwolfe perhaps if you could read you'd realise it wasn't my comment - if you have to dish out petty vitriol at least have the courtesy to direct it at the offending poster!

  • I was a kid in the 1950's in Nowra, close to HMAS Albatross, the home of the Fleet Air Arm. Sea Furies were a common sight, along with Fairey Fireflies and Gannets and de Havilland Sea Venoms. My parents were friends with some of the pilots - my regret now is that I never asked them about the planes and their flying experiences, although I would have been pretty precocious to have done so!

  • awesome
