Stephen and Nick Grey/Fighter Collection modified WG655 to run a R2800, though if I recall it had a quick exchange mount so they could revert to a Centaurus. The R2800 was swinging the prop off a Grumman Guardian I think - it sounded great. Sold on to a new owner it was sadly very badly damaged last year after the R2800 expired during a flight out of Duxford with a fellow PPRuNer in the back seat - both aboard survived with some injuries, nothing too serious I think. WG655 was the Sea Fury referred to earlier which hit two trees in the middle of a Somerset field.
The Fighter Collection appear to have three other Sea Fury projects, VX653, VZ345, and WG599.
Fly Navy still have the single seat Sea Fury VR930 which I don't think has flown in some while.
