Hawker Sea Fury

Can anyone confirm that this photo is Spencer Flack’s G-FURY? If it is, then when was the plane converted from a T MK20 to a single seater? I suspect the caption is wrong and that this is one of the Furies that went from Germany to England, and then to the U. S. Anyone with a clue?

seeing as my mother died when i was only 2 years old, she did not have time to teach me anything.

ok so forget it, i always give thanks to those that help, those that act the prat i don’t even listen to.:mad:

I am sorry to hear that…..I just used a phrase that is always used…not specifically tailored to you and put a smiley…..I just thought a ‘Please’ would have been nice if you are asking for help.

I know all too well what frame station numbers are (the proper terminology :rolleyes:), but was confused by “fuselage station drawings”, hence the question to clarify, but the discussion didn’t get that far!

Lee
Station numbers are a way of finding specific points of a fuselage structure,station zero would normally be near the nose of the a/c at a fwd frame,stations are then a measurement aft of that datum in inches or mm.
Therefore a station drawing resembles a frame drawing but the markings are a measurement from the fwd datum.
Gosh its too early for tech stuff 😀

Including those who ask genuine questions, such as my original (see above)? I asked what you meant, as your question simply didn’t make any sense.

hi all,

could someone let me have a scan of the fuselage station drawings for this aircraft, not bothered about size so long as the numbers are readable.

Thanks a lot Mark for the info. It would be BCOW and not BCOV? Also, I found another of the ex- German Furies while searching. Would you agree that it is G-BCKH as the photo caption says?

T J Johansen

Definitely G-BCOW in my log and confirmed by this website

http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/registry/furyregistry/fury-vx281.html

Can’t help on the other Seafury – not really my specialist thing.

Yep this is G-BCOW/VX281, Spencer’s two seater.

I have 10 minutes logged between Elstree and Leavesden – 5 April 1980

The photo on Airliners.net was accompanied by another from the other side, also given as G-FURY. The very next photo is of G-FURY in the familiar red/white colors. All photos are shot by the same photographer at Elstree in the late 70’s. I have just found another photo of #253. There the plane is identified as G-BCOV. Will try to upload the first photo again!
