Sea Fury T20 VZ345

Does anyone know what the plans are for this aircraft? Is it going to be a source of spares or restored to airworthly condition?

Thanks!

When VR930 pops in it will be odd to see so many RNHF related examples together!

Will they be using it to train prospective warbird pilots?

I suspect the other (airworthy) T.20 they have purchased will be a more likely candidate, in the short term.

I have lost track of how many Sea Furies the RNHF have operated. What are the plans for the FB11 that TFC have had as long as I have been going to Duxford?

Correct me if i’m wrong, but the RNHF are only on their second FB11 airframe. The TT20 was lost sadly. VZ345 was only a spares airframe, so never flew with them. Not bad for length of time the flights been going i reckon!

Ha……my Dad’s ‘little’ brother was Ginger Baker’s manager during Ginger’s short stint with Hawkwind.

All this talk of Sea Furies makes me wonder when the Iraqi Fury IDT will turn up.

The TFC guys are better placed than me to say, but all 3 furies will be flyers!!

i beleive they are clearing the area around there seafury to continue the restoration. Is alot of the work done on the airframe already?

Tell me about it! And to think Kula Shaker wrote a song about it being so great :rolleyes: They must’ve been stuck bumper to bumper and out of their minds…probably!

Still on course for tonight, may be held at the M25 until rush hour is over.

Saw it this afternoon heading up the A303 with lots of cars following it, perhaps they wanted to get a picure as well:D

VZ345

The Fighter Collection Blog states that she’s en route to Duxford, having left Yeovilton at 12:30pm. Get those cameras ready if you’re on the motorways!
