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.

Lloyd had an off airport landing in the desert near Tehachapi pass heading home after the Mojave race in 72? 73? in Race 16, Larry Rengsdorf was in the back seat. He also had an engine failure near Santa Rosa, ending up in a plum orchard. Both failures were Centaurus engines. I found Race 15 in Holland and Lloyd and I went and got a couple of months later. Sadly the engine had gone to a trade school and we never found it.

And just missing the war you had (effectively) you had the Meteor, P-80, Shackleford and B-36 getting ready to go operational. Yes, I understand the Meteor was in use over UK, and the P-80 also made some flights, but these were not truly front line planes just yet.

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.

ah gotcha...............missed the tag as i'm a bit slow :) great seeing and hearing these planes...........more please :)

I see a lot of vintage planes and police helicopters messing around over and around my house in SE England, probably because all around are wide open fields where they can land if things go south. I also live not very far from Old Warden, home to the Shuttleworth Collection, who have frequent air displays. On one occasion (alas, no mobile phone cameras then), I recognised the breathy howl of a Merlin engine and dashed into my garden. There was a Spitfire Mk IX doing barrel rolls, bunts, split S, you name it, at full power. And then he did something I have never seen at an air show. He did a steep climb to about 30,000 feet and went into a full power dive, and pulled up almost at rooftop height, surely ticking off close to 500mph. The sound! I swear I could hear the supercharger sucking in air by the bucketload, and the angry yet defiant roar of the engine was intoxicating. I wish I could have recorded it. You never see it on air dhows, because it would probably breach health and safety guidelines, but I'd have it on KZread, totally without music, as is this video. She's not a Spitfire, but the Mustang was built to an RAF requirements spec for a long-range fighter escort, and she carries the beating heart of the Spitfire. The sound in the video is fantastic!

At Oshkosh back in '90 or '91 there was a Sea Fury with tip smoke (love that!) and a Mustang doing laps with the Fury leading. He'd go down show center (right to left) then at the end of the runway pull up hard and bank right to go out over the lake with the Mustang following about a half runway length behind. The coolest part was the turbulence from the pull made the tip smoke swirl and then converge in a big ring which about as soon as it fully formed was center punched by the Mustang. They did this over and over and it was just so neat to see. Great video and thanks for the wonderful sound!

My family and I went to an air show at an air force base in Orange county Calif, which was shut down a couple years later. They always featured the Thunderbirds which in my opinion put on a far better show them Blue Angels. Anywas, there was a Mustang just putting on a great show with full speed low passes the whole enchilada. Suddenly a Sea Fury showed out of nowhere with the engine Screaming at what seemed going twice as fast as the Mustang, making everyone stop dead on their tracks I had no idea those things were so powerful and so fast. I became an instant fan of Sea Furys. The show it out on made the Mustang look like child's play. In fortunately they came into service as WWII ended.

@@barrierodliffe4155 wow, Barrie Low-life displays ungrateful passive-aggressive publicly; such a lack of gratitude for the 80,000 men that paid their lives flying bombers over Europe. The P-51 single-handed ended the bombing campaign over Europe by providing air supremacy to the bombing runs and their safe return. Without the Merlin engine, the P-51 was incomplete; without the American airframe the Merlin was a solution looking for a platform. Wonderful example of both Americans and Brits working together ti #win. God Bless all that paid the ultimate price!

@@MechanicalTrader Gratitude for USA profiteering and doing a fraction of the job the RAF did in Europe. The P 51 did nothing single-handed and even after Britain gave USA the best aero engine the P 51 was not close to a Spitfire in performance, it was the Spitfiire that achieved air supremacy in Europe. Without the Merlin the P 51 was rather useless, with the Merlin it was good but not close to a Spitfire except for range because of the Merlin and British drop tanks.

Two truly magnificent machines.

Wonderful sound to the ears. Thanks

Woof, that Sea Fury’s engine, it takes a while for it to get going but when it does, a symphony of sound!

The Merlin engine sounds so sweet no matter what it is in and the Fury would be so much better remembered if it had been able to get into service before the Second World War ended. It was no slouch in Korea.

Just watching this video i could almost feel the power of the sea fury, what a machine.

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!!! I never ever thought anything could compete against the performance of a P-51, least of all its beauty while static and in flight. The Sea Fury maneuvered effortlessly whilst the P-51 looked like it was pushing its limits at the top of the curves. The P-51 sounds melodiously powerful as it passes by while the Sea Fury sound like a beast after it's prey. Have to give it to the Sea Fury for its performance but the P-51 is still the beauty of the ball. Great Video and I second the kudos for just letting these planes sing their own tune without added and unwanted noise!!!

The sound of that Sea Fury's 2100HP is thrilling and it even looks to be faster over the crow that the Mustang. Hard for me to think that, given I absolutely love the P-51.

You're welcome, :) Because my father machined Merlin engine parts at one of the RR factories during the war. A few years after the war he moved to North America and worked in aircraft factories. Here he had to "cool it" with the tolerances he was after on lathes and mills because RR set higher standards than what was normal elsewhere. It had become automatic practice for him so he had to unlearn some things. I've still got a few of his small hand tools with his name engraved on them. I should donate them to an aviation museum soon.

@@timothyphillips5043 yeah, the role it played. The USAAF was conducting day time unescorted bombing missions into Germany. Unlike the Brits, they didn't hide under cover of darkness and were taking heavy losses. It got so bad that they called off the long range missions until an effective escort could be found. That's when the mustang came on the scene and enabled the US military to resume the deep bombing missions and hasten the end of the war. It was so effective at crippling the Luftwaffe that the English even started conducting daytime missions. So yeah, the role it played.

@@hugmal37 so what? U could put that same engine in another plane and it wouldn't have performed as well as the mustang. Of course you have to match the right power plant with the airframe, that's just common sense. What's the sea fury without that 2000hp Pratt Whitney engine? What's your point?

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

NO MUSIC great!!!! PURE SOUNDS OF THE ENGINES!!!! this one I will be watching many times. When I need a WW2 fighter "fix" this will be it.
