Hawker Sea Fury MK II

The Fighter Factory’s Sea Fury is the naval configuration of the Fury, which traces its design to a German Focke-Wulf FW that was captured when a German pilot mistook a British airfield for a Luftwaffe landing site. The naval variation included the hook for carrier landing and folded wings. Impressed with the Focke-Wulf, the British designed the Fury with a Centaurus radial engine.

The RAF canceled orders for the Fury after VE-Day but production continued for export sales to other interested nations. Countries that acquired the Fury in its various configurations included Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, West Germany, Burma, Cuba, Iraq, Egypt and Pakistan. The last major combat in which the Fury saw action was the Korean War but Pakistan’s fleet remained in service until 1973. The Fighter Factory’s Sea Furry was originally sold to Iraq.
