Hawker Fury Mk.II - Sywell Airshow 2024

[@rogerkay8603]

Beautiful and evocative aircraft, flown by a superb pilot.

Paul is probably one of the best warbird pilots in the UK, I would say equal to Ray Hanna. As well as commercial aviation, he also had a fantastic career with Red Bull Racing too. As an ex pilot myself, I know just how difficult 4 and 8 point hesitation rolls can be to do well, it's not easy stopping an aircraft rolling at exactly 45 or 90 degrees, as well as stopping your nose from dropping when approaching upside down. The Hawker Fury and Sea Fury were in my opinion the finest British piston engined fighters of the late and post WW2 era.

If I just focus on wings and not the nose, I picture Pierre Clostermann flying his Tempest . Engine noise different of course..but what a sight to see

[@SHGPMEDIAMILITARYANDMILSIM]

It's a shame the Tempest didn't make the show but hopefully I won't have to wait long to film it

[@NWales45Kilo]

@SHGPMEDIAMILITARYANDMILSIM I may have to fly back to homeland to see that. Will definitely go back to Blighty to see the Typhoon.

Its a hawker fury ISS,based on the Sea Fury FB11 variant.

The Hurricane was very underated and shot down more enemy than the Spitfire . They keep banging on about the Spitfires wings and yet the Mustangs wings were like concrete blocks but a better fighter than the Spit . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
