Some cracking shots.

I think I have seen a photo of a Fury in that condition, taken somewhere in Australia.
It may even still be preserved now.
This one?

Some really interesting and great photos everyone – thanks! 🙂
G-ORDY – hope you’re not aching too much after your loft visit – if it’s any consolation, I’ve got to insulate mine in the near future. Poor old TF956, those blades look very bent…

My guess would be Australia as some Seafuries were used as windmachines to test the resistance of structures agains gale-force winds. I remember having seen some photographs previously.

Puzzle picture!
Here’s an interesting one!
I know what & where – anybody else in the know?
Cheers

OK guys – you forced me into the attic!
Three shots of TF956 (Dunsfold during restoration, taxying somewhere and following its 1974 ground-loop at Yeovilton Air Day)
The others are from Hawker’s archive at Kingston-on-Thames (I pray that BAe kept all that stuff!)
Enjoy! 🙂

BTW, thanks for the other contributions, quality stuff! 🙂

Interesting photo #4, Seafuryfan. This appears to be a go-around for TF956, as the flaps are fully deployed (only done on landing) and the gear is in transit.
Equally interesting comment Steve, well spotted. The photo is not one of mine, but purchased at an airshow some years ago.

HMS Vulture,
Interesting photo. Does the ‘K’ tail code refer to HMAS Sydney and was the aircraft with 805 NAS at the time?

Laurie.

Always nice to see a correctly proportioned RAF roundel Stateside!
Mark,
Everything else appears nicely proportioned as well! 😉
