Hahahah, that's a great model. Must have taken quit some effort to finish it in time. Was the paint dry when you took the pictures?

Love it and a big hurra for the quick job!

Hawker Sea Fury FB.20 WJ232 O-114, Royal Navy Historical Flight, RNAS Yeovilton, 1991.

The Sea Fury was developed from the Hawker Fury, the last of the piston-engined monoplane fighters from Hawker that could claim its lineage from the illustrious Hurricane.  The Fury/Sea Fury was originally developed around the Griffon, Sabre and Centaurus engines.  The latter were fitted to the so-called 'first generation' FB.10s and FB.11s.  A second generation (the Hawker P.1032) was subsequently developed and produced to Royal Navy contracts as the Sea Fury FB.20.  the type saw service throughout the 1950s, most famously during the Korean War when, on 9 August 1952 Lt Peter Carmichael, flying his regular Sea Fury (WJ232) frm HMS Ocean, was leading a four aircraft formation to attack railway facilities between Manchon and Pyongyang when, in the vicinity of Chinnampo, his Number 2, Sub-Lieutenant Carl Haines, gave a radio warning of Yak-23s diving towards the Sea Furies from behind and the right. As Carmichael later stated:
'Eight Yaks came at us out of the sun. I did not see them at first, and my No. 4, 'Smoo' Ellis, gave a break when he noticed tracer streaming past his fuselage.
We all turned towards the MiGs and commenced a 'scissors'. It soon became apparent that four Yaks were after each section of two Furies, but by continuing our break turns, we presented impossible targets. They made no attempt to bracket us.
One Yak came at me head on. I saw his heavy tracer shells. I fired a burst, then he flashed past me. I believe Carl got some hits on him too. This aircraft then broke away, and went head on to my Nos 3 and 4, Lieutenant Pete Davies and 'Smoo' Ellis. They were seen to get good hits on one who broke away with smoke coming from him.'

WJ232 was retired from service following HMS Ocean's (and 802 Sqn's) return from active duty and preserved for the fledginling Fleet Air Arm Museum.  With the establishment of the Royal Navy Historic Flight WJ232 was returned to flying condition in 1986, and has remained a firm flying display favourite since.
