The Hawker Sea Fury was the last piston engined fighter used by front-line units of the Royal Navy. The first Sea Furies entered fleet service with 807 and 803 NAS's in August and September of 1947. Both units converted to the F.B.11 version in May 1948.

Bingo again Jeff, 1947. These planes were supposed to be some of the fastest piston engine fighters ever built, after being in the thing I cant see how one could fly any faster! It felt like I was the coyote stapped to a missle going after the Roadrunner.

For those interested and the ones like me who didn't record it, I was just informed that a video will be available of the entire Glacier Girl episode shown last week on the History Channel. It will be available in the next couple of weeks through the gift store at this site www.thelostsquadron.com/ggg.html
