    Apparently it is up for sale, as is the Hunter F51(?) at Booker.

    RNHF Sea Hawk weathered in as well at Yeovilton.
    The best of luck with the transit and airshows guys!

    – There are two Mk.1s left, both in the UK, one at RAF Cosford, the other with Kennet Aviation.

    – One Mk.2 is preserved in Australia.

    – The Mk.3 variant is extremely rare, only one flier left based at North Weald.

    – The Mk.4 variant survives in smallish numbers, a number were scrapped in the 1970s due to fatigue problems.

    – Surviving numbers of the Mk.3A, Mk.5, Mk.5A and Mk.5B JP are very healthy compared to the others.

    Nice to see that 229OCU/234 Sqn will be seen again on a Hunter F.6A, though a shame there isn’t two of them still about.
    RIP XF516 🙁

    I am pretty sure XJ481 has been re-finished recently for the 899NAS disbandment back in March.
    It is most definitely now undercover with the FAAM.

    Nice shots Neal.
    I have a similiar prob to you – I am awaiting a new telephoto lens for my camera which was ordered a few weeks ago. The old one is still soldering on in the meantime with mixed results 🙁

    Thanks ‘bradburger’ about the video footage 🙂

    I am pretty sure the only thing that the Sea Fury and Tempest II share in common is the engine bulkhead, everything else is different.

    Is there any possibility that you could post the video footage 🙂 😮

    Come on – can’t you take solid intense grilling on matters of great importance- the public wants to know – will it beat leg ends!!!

    LOL. At a guess I’d say there’s a chance, but not a very big one.

    Easy mistake to make seafuryfan, D-CACY was the DLB’s only single seater.
