One of my clients owns a Mk19 photo reconnaissance Spitfire; he also has a Sea Fury. He still flies both at events around France 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 Australian Air Force or Naval Air Service ? I know the Fury's saw limited service in Korea where a British 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.

Must be a fair bit or torque as he has the stick fairly well over into the Rt quadrant in taking off you get some glimpses of a P-39 at .39 & .47 plus a jug as he taxies out nice vid's

[#1oilman]

I didn't see the P-39 I did see a P-38 Lightning some Douglas A1 Skyraiders a T-28 Trojan and maybe a Spitfire

I was correct in 1944 no month given the Lancaster received a new rear turret made by Rose Bros it carried 2 x .5 Brownings and according to the blurb of the picture could house 2 gunners Source: Lancaster By M. Garbett & B. Goulding Page 55 picture of the turret with gunner interesting to note was the perspex profile.

He never qualified the time frame for me. Just said the "American turret" with 2 x .50's. He said it sure worked better though.
