One of my favourite piston engine fighters.

One of mine too.
A snapshot of 801 Squadron, not sure where, with a Sea Fury back drop.



My father is back row on the right. The geeky chap, back row, three from left is a very young Ted Anson. Some years ago, I remember watching an episode of the documentary on Ark Royal, when my mother suddenly exclaimed 'My God, that's Ted Anson' I waited for some comment on his career or some cocktail party faux pas, but she simply continued, 'he's lost his hair.'

Cheers

Nice ones Grant.
I've always liked the Sea Fury, and its cousin, the Tempest II. And now there's also a Fury on the UK airshow circuit, to accompany the Sea Furies.
 
Y'know Mark, I've always wondered why kit manufacturers have shied away from the Fury/Sea Fury. It's such an attractive aircraft. It's the sort of thing that Matchbox might have done during its two colour kit days.
 
You are right Nuuumannn. Most people talk about the Spitfire or Mustang as far as a beautiful plane and rarely does anyone mention the Sea Fury. Probably because it was produced in low numbers and late in the war so it wasn't as well known.
