Can any one help wth serials and construction numbers of the Sea Furies supplied to the Pakistan Air Force, or point me in the direction of a book relating to the subject?
I can’t find anything on the net that is specific to the subject, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly just like the elusive PAF Supermarine Attackers.

I don’t think any survive in Pakistan.

Bleeming, the survivors count is a problem, I am not game enough to cruise around Pakistan to find them if any have escaped scrapping. I have found a fair bit of ID info on the UK military serial numbers website scrolling through the various prefixes that I know Furies carried like WG,VX,WH, etc but cant remember if any Paki ID’s were there. I would like to think a few of the 90 odd Furies are around, need a long range drone :))) Would love to see one fly in their scheme for something different!
