Always nice to see 326 in its old camouflaged scheme.
Must have been taken before pre-1984 as I can’t see any D-Day stripes on the wings or fuselage

Thanks for posting it 🙂

Yes they have a F8 Meatbox. They was a photo of the jet in a magazine about a year ago. Cannot remember if it was being re-assembled, restored to static or rebuilt to fly.

Here’s a pic of XL584, one of three aircraft painted up as an Admirals Barge…
Not good quality, I must get around to re-scanning it.

Also below is a photo of the T.8M – this example was in service with RN 899 Sqn (the Sea Harrier training Squadron). The photo was taken in the early 1980’s, just after delivery to the Squadron.

Sadly the darkness setting is not new. Night vision goggles are essential to view the FAAM Carrier exhibition at Yeovilton 🙂

i dont know about VR930s engine is it any closer to being finished by RICARDOs?.

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

The RNHF Fury will be back next year if things go to plan with the engine.

The Bradshaw Fury does not fly very often anymore, which is a shame considering the superb condition it is kept in by its owner John Bradshaw. The prop is gorgeous 🙂

It is thought that the former OFMC Sea Fury D-CACY is under restoration somewhere in the UK for Kermit Weeks.
