@@SynthFreq And just Why, pray tell, is that a "shame"?

Great presentation! No announcer, no music, just pure engine sound. Awesome! I'm going to have to look up Sea Fury specs because that bird seems to have an abundance of power.
I remember, as a kid, every summer we'd go down to R.N.A.S. Condor ( just outside Arbroath ), back in the '50s, to watch their air display. THE two aircraft that STILL stand out in my mind are a Mosquito T.33 & a Hawker Sea Fury ( Only pison engined aircraft to shoot down a jet. - Mig 15 in the Korean war ! ) - Really quite ECELLENT ! :)
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.
I just saw this in Sept '24- and I've always LOVED the Hawker Fury series. Just gorgeous. I saw in the notes that this one is powered by a P&W R-28 "Double Wasp". The reason I'm familiar with that badass motor: One of my high school buddies that I talk to probably once a week since the late 70's retired a few years back from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), were he served as a pilot after he left the USAF. I had the privilege of going on several rides over the years with him, and in the late 80's, I got to go for a pretty long one in an old Douglas DC-6, that had been modified to drop water. That aircraft is powered with FOUR R-2800's, and he explained that those were the same engines as Corsairs and Hellcats. He's a great pilot, and he never failed to scare the heck out of me, LOL...I remember how cool that plane sounded, way different from C-130's. In the 130, he would do barrel-rolls and Split-S's. I don't think I've ever had more fun...Subscribed...
Sanders Aviation, Ione CA (near Stockton, where I live) are the gurus for the Sea Fury. I have seen their a/c at their airstrip (can't really call it an "airport", as it is a private ranch). I have flown several times in a Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon out of Stockton, which is powered by 2 P&W R-2800s (the same 2000+ hp powerplant that powers this Sea Fury.
I have many memories of watching the Sea Furies fly over the town of Nowra in New South Wales, the home the Australian Fleet Air Arm. I also remember the time when two Sea Furies from Nowra shot down an Auster that had taken off without its pilot (after he had turned the prop but had not put the brakes on!) The navy were called in after two attempts by the air force to do so. The Auster took off from Sydney's Bankstown airport and was shot down out to sea north of Sydney.
That's because it is a British copy of the FW-190. I was advised by a young Sea Fury mechanic here in Brisbane (Australia) that in 1942 an FW-190 accidentally landed in Scotland and was examined by the British and the Sea Fury was the result. He said it was a beautiful aircraft to work on.
@@drumdust , yes she is. I was just referring that she was never in the RAN or any Navy. A few people may think she's a real RAN Sea Fury when in fact, she is actually a Fury. 👍
That kangaroo roundel suggests it might be the same Sea Fury that flew past a passenger jet I was on in the 1980,s . I was impressed that an old propeller plane was fast enough to pass a passenger jet. From memory the owners first name was Guido and he owned a engineering company in Gladstone.I looked it up late rand the Seafury was found in the ( Libyan ???) desert and bought back to flying condition.
What a plane. The last gasp of piston engines. Jets are obviously the go, but the sound of a radial engine is trumped by nothing save perhaps the voice of the mighty Merlin
An Ex Royal Australian Navy Sea Fury, originally flew out of Nowra,out to the HMAS Melbourne,practicing Deck Landings at sea in the Tasman,flown by F.O.Bruce Waring-Smith,late of Tallangatta,Victoria. As he returned from the Melbourne to land at Nowra,after a couple of Malt Sandwiches for lunch,he clipped the parapet of Nowra Runway,and it flipped onto it's back,but didn't crush the Bubble Canopy. A Lucky escape.
Do you remember the time when two Sea Furies from Nowra were called upon to shoot down an Auster that had taken off without its pilot from Sydney's Bankstown Airport? They were called upon after two failed attempts by the air force to do so. The Auster now lies on the bottom of the sea off Broken Bay north of Sydney.
Seems to have lost a propeller blade somewhere;-) edit: ahh I see it has an R2800. There was one that used to display here in NZ and Australia back in the 90s with the original Centaurus engine, a pretty impressive beast to see up close. Surprisingly, for such a rare aircraft, I think it was flown across the Tasman sea (about 1500km between NZ and AU) several times.
Very little comes close to those Bristol sleeve valve engines. Beautifully demonstrated by an excellent pilot. I bet he was having more fun than the spectators!!
Clockwise (from cockpit) prop rotation & 4-blade prop -> the original Bristol Centaurus engine has been replaced with a Wright R-3350, or less likely a P&W R-2800. Fairly common since the 1990s.
Wow, super gefilmt, Respekt! 👍👍 Was ein tolles Flugzeug .. und Pilot. Ich hätte dir ja auch mal Hallo gesagt, aber du warst ja immer irgendwie mitten auf dem Flugfeld .. zumindest der wo ich dachte, das müsstest du sein .. 😂

Called "Stub Stacks". You are not a mechanic but I'll tell you anyway - You take an old recip engine out of it's "can" and check model type and serial number and it fits your airplane. It is a perfect engine but it was run in the test cell with airliner type full long quiet pipes. You bolt it on your airplane with Stub Stacks and find that it quits when you try and slow idle it. Stubs will allow oxygen to come back up the (individual) pipe and into the (single) cylinder's combustion chamber when the engine is running slow with the throttle almost closed. First you must adjust the idle fuel upwards (different methods depending float carburetor and pressure carburetor) and then it will run stably and smoothly but way too fast. Next the idle stop must be adjusted down and - if necessary - the idle fuel adjusted again. Stub stacks are LOUD. But they are LIGHT WEIGHT. They actually add a dab of FREE THRUST and often some FREE AIR COOLING , too. So now you know!
Even the top fuel "pilots" gotta appreciate the fact that this plane even makin 1/5 the hp' s could fly past it on a stretch (within the 10 second window before V8 detonation or an empty fuel cell of course)
@@WarbirdsSkippy was a popular Aussie TV show in the 60's , it's usually lovingly attached to images containing a Kangaroo or a Wallaby mate . All our military aircraft have a Kangaroo in the roundel.
was lucky enough to see the hawaker seafury , which raced in the reno air races in reno ca along with mostly P51 mustangs,,seafury was faster,,,this was in the 80s..exciting plane to watch!!
Funny you should ask... A C-Series R-2800 was run for 24 hours at War Emergency manifold pressure of 130 inches of mercury absolute (which is almost exactly 50 psi boost) and 3000 rpm (not bad for an engine with 7 inch stroke) resulting in 4000 horsepower. When that discovery was made in During WWII it was immediately classified Military Top Secret. In 1969 Daryl Greenameyer asked Congress to declassify it so he could soup up his F8F Grumman Bearcat engine and set the absolute piston engine speed record. Look up Conquest One.
I'm standing at Avalon Airshow I don't remember when but I'm crowing that Jets are good and propellers are bad , sea Fury comes in doing exactly what that plane is doing with a few 4 point rolls. then i shut my mouth and I haven't said it for 20 years and never will
It's a pity they replaced the Bristol Centaurus with a P&W R-2800. You can tell by the four blade propeller and the fact it spins the opposite direction.
Hawkers did use some of the installation tech from the fw190 with regards cowling and cooling.. the centaurus is pretty much the Pinnacle of piston engine developed and is a sleeve valve design..the BMW engine is more or less derivative of American wright engines though with more advanced features the centaurus was in development from a similar time period to a very different design history
@@dogsnads5634 Sanders Aircraft's two-seat Sea Fury, originally built to run in the Unlimited class at Reno, does have an R-4360 installed. The engine and it's three spares came from a C-124. 56 sparkplugs, by the way. 😲🙄

The Bristol Centaurus was prone to failure, which is why most flying Sea Furies have the superb P&W R2800.

RN Sea Fury beat up our field, i'm sure it's the fastest prop plane i have seen.
They are the fastest piston engined prop plane full stop
