    One of my clients owns a Mk19 photo reconnaissance Spitfire; he also has a Sea Fury. He still flies both at events around Franceicon and Europe.
    There are a lot of videos on youtube of his collection. Having the chance to sit in the Spitfire when visiting the collection a few years ago was a schoolboy dream come true!
    Some links for those interested. First link is the first Spitfire flight for one of the Breitling Jet display pilots.

    Can you explain the Kangaroo rondals on the Sea Fury?

    Are the Kangaroo roundels not Royal Australianicon Air Force or Naval Air Service ? I know the Fury's saw limited service in Korea where a Britishicon pilot holds the honor for being the only pilot to shoot down a jet powered Mig 15 with a piston engine aircraft. The Fury is a beautiful aircraft.

    Royal Australian Navy. They flew with the Australian Fleet Air Arm, 1948-1962.
