I have, obviously, no Sea Fury experience, but I seriously doubt it can be described as ‘ that easy’. So, I would think the FS2004 model is flawed, or, you are just one hot pilot RobAnt:D 😉 😀

I guess they sorted that with the Attacker. There is so little information on the web on Attackers I had to ask here.
The only thing I did read was that they were not that popular with the pilots and WERE available for the Korean War but not utilised for some reason.

Hmm,…Fury must be easy to fly with that 2300hp Bristol Centaurus and five bladed prop trying to torque swing it all over the place on take off….
😀 j/k

That theory does make sense.

Another thing I thought of was that the jet outlet pipe on the Attacker was very close to the ground therefore would perhaps push the tail up easier ?? maybe ??:confused:

Guess its all heresay as the Attacker was only interim anyway, but it’s certainly does look strange.

I can just see Mickey Rooney at the controls now, plucking that pilot out of the drink.

(Movie – “Bridges of Toko-ri” I think – no Seahawks in it though – 🙁 ).

Oh yes one of my favourite movies !!
Beautiful F9F Panthers too…

Anyway, this is the British equivalent of that…..;)

Note the waves from the Carrier, seems to be doing a sharp turn to port after the accident, maybe back into the wind ?

Rest assured Turbo, if she gets airborne again this year (there have been various things stopping her every time they’ve tried) there will be so many people over the moon that she’s flying again you’ll be asking us not to post any more as you’ve no memory left on your computer

I’ll try and find some more pics of the Sea Hawk to post

Cheers

Ha Ha Skipper, same age as myself and I watched Warship about age of 7 too….Seems so long ago now.
I used to love it to from memory.
Back then I think they also had Westland Wasps operating from it on the series.

Yes, I was thinking of the 70s/80s series which I think was called “Warship”.

It’s such a shame to see it not flying. Looks like it was beautifully constructed. Even the Jag engine was hugely modified.
