I also remember seeing Ellsworth Getchell fly his Hawker Seas Fury at the Hawthorne and Torrance Air Fairs years ago. Nowadays, he only does shows in NoCal. The Sanders brothers often fly the Sea Fury at the Chino Airshow which is very cool and does aerobatics ::)

Keith, what the story behind the second Sea Fury?

That bird, WJ288 , Was based @ Duxford, England from the late 70's till late 80's as G-SALY owned by  Patrick Luscombe who sold it to (late) Doug Arnold, Biggin Hill Warbirds 88-1990 after a brief period @ Biggin Hill it was sold and shipped to the USA for Ed Stanley, registered as N15S ,a slow restoration process  was started @ Pacific Fighters @ Chino in 1991. 1992 Ed was killed while flying his Pitts Special in Oregon, 1993 his Estate sold it to David Peeler of Memphis ,Tennessee where he finished restoration /between North Dakota & Memphis and flew it for a while ,until being donated to the CAF in 2006 in which Dave Peeler sponsors and again flies the plane! :)

a couple more oldies for the cause.....

N46990 being restored at Chino (Sanders Aircraft) in 1977, looks like the two Sanders boys doing the paint stripping, this later became N924G


N232J seen here at Reno 1988, being flown by Robert Lampough, this was originally Frank Sanders' 232 which he performed his patented Smoke-Show with at Chino and all over the states, 232 was retired from racing in 2008 by Michael Brown known as September Fury, my only hope is that this airframe remains in air racing, as it was the very first Sea Fury i saw as a kid at Long Beach Airport in 1970 =)
