My uncle Frank was a wing commander in the Fleet air arm flying the Sea Fury off HMAS Sydney for the Australian navy. I didn't know him too well but he gave me his medals in 2015 as his family did not care about his military career. Thanks for the video Love this machine its one of my favourites.

A long time ago, a very young me was sitting in his Royal Navy Chipmunk trainer waiting for permission to take off for yet more circuits and bumps when the tower told me to hold 'cos a Sea Fury was going to 'beat up' the airfield. I close my eyes and half a century later I can hear again that thundering roar and see that beautiful creation, soaring, swooping and flashing past. Unforgettable.

@@MilitaryAviationHistory I've seen the FAA Historic Flight Sea Fury at air shows several times here in the UK in years gone by. It is a beautiful aeroplane in flight with a sort of muted whistle engine note. As a footnote that may interest you Chris, I live in West Sussex not too far from the Ricardo Consulting engineering company. I have it on quite good authority that Ricardo's have provided practical assistance overhauling and returning to fight worthy condition the Bristol Centaurus engine for the FAA's Sea Fury.

One thing not mentioned but obvious when seeing the in cockpit head shots, is that the pilot seat is elevated while the canopy is open allowing better vision forward either side of the engine for deck handling and final approach. Closing the canopy results in the seat dropping for a better streamline shape while retaining good level and above visibility.

I have had the pleasure of seeing one of these, both flying, and close-up on the ground. The propeller truly dominates an impression of the aircraft, so huge it is. With 5 blades and their immense length make it a stunner. I have always favoured these as among the most beautiful of WWII fighters. In HMAS service in Australia, they were used aboard our 2 carriers for much longer than other services, perhaps? Out of necessity, they remained so useful to our naval air arm, that they were still being flown in the late 50s.

While stationed on an island just off the Korean west coast - I witnessed a Sea Fury just after it landed on our beach - it came in almost dead stick - could not reach the carrier just off our coast - We drove up to the pilot sitting on the wing front edge -He said "Hello Chaps" and he detailed the landing - "Not Too Tough". Later the plane was taken to the carrier on a barge--We all had a good time sharing some beers -this was 1953 - He looked to young to have done this -however--

Apart from being the first export customer, Dutch MLD also bought FB.51 Sea Furies built under license by Fokker/Aviolanda. They were pretty much identical to the FB.11, so much so that one aircraft which suffered a bird strike was repaired using a wing from an FAA sea Fury - leaving the weird look of one wing with FAA roundels and the other with the Dutch one.

The German Furys weren't target drones themselves. They dragged a flying target behind which then got shot. There were some incidents were furys accidentally got hit by some bullets. A couple of these German "Target Drone" Furys were later sold to owners in the US where they became highly modified reno racers. Most of todays furys/seafurys run R2800 and R3350 engines and 4 blade props. There are at least two seafurys with R4360 engines. The airframe is quite versatile regarding engines.

In my view, the most spectacular piston aircraft ever built, with the iconic engine "whistle" that still gets the hairs up on the back of the neck. My first unforgettable view of one was from HMS Hermes flight deck, anchored in Torquay in the summer of '81, while working up with Sea Harriers using the new ski-jump. Both Firefly & Fury buzzed the ship at flight deck level, a spectacularly awesome sight & sound.

Ah. I’m currently fixing one up at the moment - hoping to hit rod the Centaurus. Thankfully it’s very popular amongst piston racers - that Centaurus can push nearly 4000 Hp with modifications. I’ll return to this comment when I’ve finished likely in a few years. Love to make a job of flying people around in it. Wonderful aircraft - such a shame Bristols obsession with sleeve valves denied us some good rotary engines in the way - this is sort of the brother of the P47 - mine is meant to be a British P47 M - one of the first jet hunters, hot rodded, as fast compared to a Me 262 as a spitfire IX was to a Focke Wulf. After this project I’ll be putting a Crecy in a spitfire - far fetched but if I can repair a broken Fury....

One of the finest displays I've ever seen at an air show was a few years ago by a Sea Fury being put through its paces. I believe it was at West Malling down here in Kent but can't be sure. The pilot spared nothing! We all love the sound of the Merlin I know and it is my absolute favourite aero engine ever but you haven't lived until you've heard the Centaurus on full chat in one of these! Unbelievable. I will never forget it.

Absolute beast of a machine! As a kid I was lucky enough to get to see a privately owned one flown fairly regularly like it should be! In perfect, clear blue summer skies over old RAF Tarrant Rushton airfield! A sound second only to the spitfire for me. The one I was witnessing was owned and flown by a guy who was a big part of Ilmore engines I think it was. Unfortunately i later learned he and the plane met an unfortunate end. I'd read it was because he tried landing on a field which had seen a lot of rain and possibly a bit of excess speed. Such a shame, but I'm glad I got to see him fly his baby so many times. It's something I'll never forget.

During a previous career, working on helicopters, noticed the engine gauges having color coded painted on the face of the instruments to indicate normal (green), warning (yellow), finally alarm (red) similar to automobile speedometer and tachometer. Not a whole lot of that being used on this instrumentation. Suppose the operator must memorize all nominal settings and not rely on color code to help them out while in flight. Nice video Chris, enjoyed it much.

that is correct, the DLB operated 18, some 2seaters with a winch for target towing, mostly in red paint. There were 2 modes of "zieldarstellung" only one, with a towed target was with real ammo called ZD2, a single single seat plane was also used to display a target aircraft (ZD1) without actually shooting.

The Seafury is always fantastic to watch at air displays.You can really see how far advanced it is from aircraft with their design starting prior to and the early stages of World War 2. It so effortlessly zoom climbs and hits 500mph in a dive without evening thinking about it. You just can't do that in late model Spit without stressing it or the engine. The Seafury just eats it up.

My favorite piston engine fighter ? I have a lot of planes that are my "fav" WW2 fighter because frankly, I just can't choose one, I like too many. However, the Sea Fury doesn't make this list. Why ? Because its on its own list Fav Piston engine fighter period ! Since of course it didn't operate in WW2. The list has 2 planes on it the Sea Fury and Fokker D.VII but neither were involved in WW2 So obviously this video makes me very happy as Chris has already covered the D. VII

I remember he showed me a photo of Sea Furys lined up on the flight deck. They were started up to help turn the aircraft carrier.

This is my absolute favourite aircraft of WW2. It's just stunning, and don't get me started on the engine. However, in this video I saw something that caught my attention. The sea vixen. Could you please do a video on it in the future.

My father’s uncle was XO on the Ark Royal (I believe). He had his own fighter for personal transport, He also bought a patrol boat after the war, and converted it for personal use,

It's interesting that some things are already in the standardized shape and colors that they would have even today. Oxygen system panels in western fighter jets look almost exactly the same, and yellow+black stripes are used for "make really sure that you want to pull this lever" type of emergency controls to this day.
