I love them props on that Sea Fury.
How good of a service record did the Sea Fury Have ?

Excellent of course, both in Royal Navy and foreign service.
After all, it was British.

Also what liveries are available? I see the FAA well represented and a Dutch example. What about other operators?

I've seen a couple flying here, one in FAA colours (I think, unless commonweath birds flew in similar colours) and another in a smart dark blue Australian scheme (of a display team of sorts)

Here are some pics of the blue one mentioned earlier. Doesn't have the Centarus engine though.

I can't wait to get mine. It will make a nice addition to the ol' hangar. I saw one fly at Oshkosh one year. What a machine.

One Thing That Distinguishes The Sea Fury From Most Other Piston-engined Fighters Is The Sound Of The Sleeve-valved Engine When It Is In Full Chat. If You Ever Get The Chance To See "getch" Getchell Perform With His Stock Sea Fury In R.australian Navy Colors, Go; You Won't Be Disappointed.

By "un-hooking" The Sea Fury, It Could Become A Plain Old Fury Which Served With The Following Air Forces:-
Iraq; Pakistan; Egypt; Burma And Cuba. Eight Were Sold To Germany, Operated By A Government Organization - Not The Luftwaffe, As Target Tugs. Of Course, The Royal Canadian Navy Also Operated The Sea Fury In Some Attractive Schemes.
Though It Is Not A Particularly Well-known Type, 615 Were Built. The T.mk 20 Two-seater Versions Also Went To Most Of The Above Forces.

Some Of The Early Mk.x Sea Furies Had A Four-bladed Prop, More Variety!!

Reviewing the pics posted and on the Flying Mule, I'm really warming to the Dutch model.

I quite fancy having different insignia in my collection. Makes it a little more diverse.

I've dug out my old photos to confirm the Sea Fury identities.

One is in Royal Navy colours ZU-SEA, the other ZU-WOW in Australian colours per the photos.

Note civilian registration is ZS. Warbirds & former military jets are registered as experimentals (ZU) in South Africa.

I was never crazy about this a/c but Witty is getting better and I will have to get at least one of these.
