As an ex-Navy (US) pilot, the old girls that came before my time still fascinate me. Got my first up close look at a Sea Fury in Grass Valley a few weeks ago. Had to leave before it flew. Thank you for such a beautiful presentation.

The finest display I saw was a Sea Fury at DeHavilland Open Day at Hatfield Aeodrome -in the 1980's, where I actually had an office in D Block with a panoramic view of the whole airfield.
