Arghhhh.... Not a Sea Fury T.20

[Knightflyer]

Well I put two 'new' models on the table this morning, to celebrate a new month and all that (and ignoring the five other models that I still have on the go!)

Firstly A PM Models Sea Fury F.11 - no issues .....I have a plan
Secondly a PM Models Sea Fury T.20..... but no it isn't , it turns out to be a Sea Fury T.61 (Iraqi) with the two separate canopies rather than the co-joined 'tunnel' canopy of the T.20 (and it's my own ignorant fault, I never realised there was a difference)

So, it was going to be a real-world T.20 build, but now it isn't 

So, being me, it has to has to have the markings of a UK military service....so I was thinking possibly a high-speed FAC aircraft in my 'Sudan Crisis / British-Arab Commonwealth' universe. Late 1950s / Early 1960s. The Venoms and Hunters are carrying out the attacks, but the need for a relatively high-speed FAC aircraft has been identified in a 'bush-war' type scenario?

However I am open to suggestions/ comments (polite ones of course!)

Sounds good to me

Uh? I did not know that version. But Google presents it:

Thanks!
(My favorite way would be a 3-seater zwilling: two canopies on the port fuselage and a single one on the starboard one)

Agree with the FAC idea - certainly a bit safer than trolling around unfriendly skies in an Auster or Bird Dog...
