Unfortunately though I don’t think we’ll be seeing this one flying under Kermit’s ownership as he’s spending huge amounts on the new museum site and there’s other a/c in the restoration queue before this one, though I personally would love to see her fully restored a la TFC’s in the markings she wore in FAA service and in truth is probably the easier of the late Hawker fighters, he owns, to restore what with so many flying as opposed to the Tempest (a shell with an engine basically) oh well c’est la vie 🙁

There was a bit in Xiphias, the RNHF’s newsletter received yesterday, on their Sea Fury’s engine. I haven’t got it with me, but I’ll tag it onto this note if I can get my butler (:D )to dictate it to me!! All good news though.

It is in the final stages of re-assembly and will be back at Yeovilton soon, enabling VR930 to put her face back on 🙂

Yes yak 11 i totally agree it will be nice to see VX653 fly one day,

I’m sure it will be worth the wait, from the look of it the research that has gone into the restoration has been very detailed. Be nice to see it fly.
By: DROPTANK - 26th November 2003 at 15:33
Thats a nice photo of a great plane i wonder how long we will have to wait for TFCs fury,its always been in my view the ultimate
piston engined fighter ever.

This is the Bradshaw Sea Fury arriving at RIAT this year. As has been said elsewhere, it is a real shame it doesn’t appear on the circuit but it does seem it’s priced out of many organisers budgets.
