The Fury's Goodwood Revival |
The keen eyed amongst you may have noticed that the Fury departed Duxford on the back of a lorry recently. It was hoped to have the paperwork through to fly the aircraft to the Goodwood Revival weekend, but this was not to be, so we took the decision to transport the Fury by road so that it could appear as a static exhibit. |

Weights and Engine Runs |
The Fury has now had engine runs at Duxford and it has also been weighed. |

The Fury is Complete |
After a week as assembly at Duxford by the Retrotec team, Fury K5674 is now complete. It was rolled out of Hangar 3 for a photo session and it was later joined by it's naval counterpart, the Nimrod. |
