@elrey53 it`s not a FW 190 , it`s a seafury ;)

[rustyATV]

Is this one powered by the original Centaurus, or something else?

[8674planes]

It's powered by a Pratt and whitney R2800 Radial.

Who needs idiots on tannoys spoiling the sound !

@Gruntol5 It does look like it's an american conversion. Due to it being a four bladed prop and the centaurus furys run a five bladed prop.

[Gruntol5]

I could be wrong (it has been known), but the sound is of a Bristol Centaurus engine, not an American substitute. Marvellous plane and great display. What a crying shame no DH Sea Hornet has survived. One version exceeded 500 mph in level flight, although the maximum speed in service was about 472 mph - still incredible. Big piston-engined fighters have a lot more charisma than early jets!

RAN types had centaurus engines,my cousin went to England in "48 to learn how to service engines and he told me there were modifications from time to time and one in particular was the fitting of kill switches on the ignition as any mechanic

"walking" the prop around could have had a fatal accident,the engine was probably originally shut down by killing the fuel injection only, he had some great photos of those he called "his babies".

@Loxleiev They fixed that problem with dive recovery flaps, to avoid enter compressibility and control ineffectiveness, as the did to P-47 as well.

I saw this one live, and it is awesome! With the Centaurus or the R-3350, and now a R-2800 , I just don´t care!. The Seafury, the Sea Hornet (sadly no airframe exists) and the F8F Bearcat are the end line of piston engine fighters. But if I have to chose to go to war I would prefer the P-47N Thunderbolt...It had the range, high speed at altitude, 8 0.5 inch guns and more bombs or rockets, and it would survive severe punishment. I never understand why they took the F-51D to Korea instead the 47N!

Great Vid!

This is a beautiful plane with plenty of power.The Corsair was the last US piston powered fighter kept in production after the war and was used in Korea as was the Sea Fury. I would very much like to to see the two of them in a practice dogfight by pilots of equal skill. The Corsair was a heavy load lifter too, but I don't know the Sea Fury's capabilities with carrying bombs. I'm just glad that BOTH were on our side! I'd give my eye teeth for a ride in one, I've had rides in B-25P-51T-6 B-17
