Hawker Sea Fury x3 at Duxford soon ?

My last T20 flight – noted +1 boost/2100 revs/ 250 kts.

Cool!!

I thought the RNHF had stripped 345 of all spares to help 930?
655 is a stunning restoration, shame about the modern cockpit tho.

Wasn’t it T20 WG655 that had the altercation with the trees after suffered an engine failure when flying with the RNHF?

I was suggesting the (engineless?) former RNHF spares airframe VZ345 may be used to help with the completion of the rebuild of VX653 and as a source of spares to keep WG655 flying.

Whatever the plans are it is great to see so many of these wonderful aircraft returning to the UK skies.

Spares?

Obviously not, I presume this is the one that had an altercation with some trees.

VX653 at Flying Legends 1995,

VZ345 at Boscombe Down 9th June 1990

Any pics of the p40f yet?

There was a picture or two of it in Classic Wings magazine volume 14 No.3.
Unfortunatly I no longer have the said magazine.

are both new airframes owned by the fighter collection or is it on an operate only basis like the friedkin spit?

i take it there own restoration is continuing?

Good times ahead with 2 new furies, a p47g, p40f and twilight tear to return after restoration!!!

Any pics of the p40f yet?

Some more pics on here.

WG655 is coming home.
What fantastic news:D

So, what happened to the 2 seater that was liberated from Iraq a few years ago? Anyone??

I heard it went to Boscombe Down and then things got politically sensitive. Last heard of as a hot potato…;)

Is it still intact or reduced to spares to assist potential rebuilds……..?

Won’t this come under the “the Iraq (UN Sanctions) Order 2003” in which anyone possessing Iraqi cultural property must give it to the police and what caused Boris Johnson having to hand over a cigar case once belonging to Iraq’s former deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz?

Spares?

We all love Sea Furies, they’ve been in short supply recently, but why three, it seems a little extravagant with other projects on the go. I’m not knocking it, the more the merrier, perhaps there’l be a 6 ship at Legends 2010.

Somebody on planetalk put up these serials.

VX653 is their current restoration.
VZ345 is the RNHF spare airframe that was up for sale
WG655 is the former RNHF aircraft that crashed and then restored in the States.
