Thanks for uploading this, been a long time since I've seen Dad flying and have great memories of this as a teenager

The Mig 15 pilots used to say : "Theres only one thing worse than seeing a RN Sea Fury at close quarters - and thats NOT seeing a RN Sea Fury at close quarters"

Nothing sounds like a Sea Fury.

Lovely.

why so cheap? They usually fetch $500K plus. Is it not flying?

As a Tradesman engineer i worked on both this Fury and the Venom shown, so I can clarify a few things. The Venom is the second ZK-VNM, a mark 4, which was later painted Red and white. There was an earlier Mk 1 (also VNM) that crashed off the end of Ardmore's runway. At the time of this show, Robbie no longer had a share in the Sea Fury; It was owned by Grant Biel, who was flying the Venom. This Fury was sold in Australia and was the one impounded.

Great Video! Did the Venom crash not long after this video?

I am not sure. I will be uploading this Venom (I think!) painted red in Swiss colors from Hamilton 1995 soon. I was aware that a DH Vampire failed to take off at Ardmore prior to this, it crossed a road, ran into a paddock & was W/O.Thanks for your comment.
