Great link propstrike, thanks for that! The one in those pics is actually the two-seater VX281, the single seater is VR930. 🙂

Good luck with your brother’s Sea Fury, DCK. I hope he has good fortune with his engine, at least!
Post some pics/video of the first flight 🙂

Brilliant! My brother got it in the old color scheme, but regardless we will be in for some great airstrip moments with our Royal Navy tribute flight. Seafury and Seafire.

Quick reply is here http://www.royalnavyhistoricflight.org.uk/home/ dated 14 Oct 2011
“Touch down! The Sea Fury FB11 is now being reunited with its engine following a refurbishment with Vintage Radials in Tehachapi, California and will be brought back to life ready for the 2012 display season. The aircraft will have its Safety Case reviewed in March 2012 which, if all goes well, will give us time to work up our Royal Navy pilots back into the single seat fighter, having had the Sea Fury T20 to fly throughout 2011. The Sea Fury is also being fitted with the same data monitoring system that we put in to the Sea Hawk. This will continue to monitor the life and health of the aircraft over the coming display seasons.”

She’s still with RNHF, the engine has been away for rebuild in the USA so she’s been stuck in the hangar. The engine has now returned to the UK so she should be up and running again this year.
