The stock Sea Fury had 2550 hp with the Bristol-Centaurus 18 engine. My friend the late Lloyd Hamilton owned N588, Race 16, Baby Gorilla. Racing the plane up at Reno Air Races. After the race event we'd fuel the plane then wipe down the airframe. That's it.
All the other planes that raced in the Unlimited Divisions would have to have their engines looked over. Not the Bristol. The reason we don't see many stock Sea Furys with Bristol engines is because of a lack of available parts and people that can rebuild this sleeve valved engine.

All debates of merit aside, can we all agree that watching these two fly is just a big ol' bunch of fun?

Thank you for not adding music or commentary over the sounds of the engines. Outstanding.

The Sea Fury sounds and looks a real beast as though it can't wait to get into the action.

A huge thanks to the people keeping these awesome machines flying.

Best sounds of the airshow. Warbirds are just incredible machines!

The Sea Fury is such a clean, fast and smooth looking airplane

Two of Man's finest creations in one place.
These are DREAM machines!

True story told to me by my father-in-law, who was in the Canadian Navy at the time. An American flew into the Canadian naval base near Halifax. He was pretty high on his Mustang, although I don't know which version. He was offered a chance to fly a Sea Fury. After landing the Sea Fury, he dearly wanted to trade aircraft. That said, nothing compares with the sound of the Merlin.

Just wonderful to see these two great aircraft still flying.

BEAUTIFUL !!!!  Thanks for no Background music-  these engines are the swwweetest music !

P-51 looks great, and nimble ASF but the Sea Fury is beastly!!

Just magical video for me, thank you! Love both aircraft. My late dad flew the Fury FBII (as well as predecessor Tempest and various other types, plus Supermarine Attacker, 1st gen jet). Dad always said the Fury was the most perfect plane - flawless and a joy to fly. I love this video because he used to tell his wide-eyed son of the aerobatic qualities of his aircraft, the sound of the engine, etc. Now I can see and hear it properly, and experience a little of the exhilaration he felt, piloting this beauty. Many thanks!

Thanks for not overlaying music. The engines were all the music i wanted to hear!

Thanks watching and liking this Video so much !

I met the guy who shot down a mig in a sea fury, he worked with my dad in the royal navy, he gave me a frog kit of his plane, I was 12 at the time

The wisthle on the Sea Fury iw sexy as hell!!

We had the Hawker Sea Fury in the Canadian Navy while I was stationed At Shearwater Naval Base in the time I was in 1954 to1964. I like the P-51 it a lot more publicity than the Fury. Which helped it be more noticeable but that Fury could sure haul ass. We had a few pilots that were young and adventurous and they really could make those birds put on a show. I had the great opportunity to do a run up of a Fury that was in a tie down so it wouldn't take off and thank God it didn't. That was a thrill I will never forget we had it actually dancing up and down on the tires. Oh to be young and a little crazy again.

This Marine is kinda fond of the Corsair. That being said, I love the sound of all WWII aircraft! Kudos to the folks who keep them flying!

As a 50 yr old that read "fly for your  life", the story of RS Tuck, a British fighter pilot that flew Spitfires, and Hurricanes in WW2, I have a affinity for the English, Merlin powered fighters. However you cannot count out the raw power of radial engined fighters like the Sea Fury and others like the Thunderbolt, and F4U Corsair. Both types of engines had their strengths and drawbacks, but were each awesome in their own right. Even the German fighters were amazing peices of engineering for their time
