Hawker Sea Fury
The Hawker Sea Fury was designed as a smaller and lighter naval version of the Hawker Tempest. The Sea Fury had folding wings and tail-hook. The Sea Fury FB.11 was a fighter-bomber capable of carrying bombs and rockets under its wings. Most of the 860 Sea Furys built went to the Royal Navy, including 60 Mk.20 two-seat trainer versions.
The Sea Fury was one of the faster piston-engine aircraft built; as a result, some surplus Sea Furies were used successfully for air racing. Others have been restored to original flying condition and are frequently seen at air shows both in Europe and America.
