Sea Fury at Yeovilton 3rd May.

I popped into RNAS Yeovilton on Wednesday on the recommendation of a friend, and caught this beauty.
It was being flown by Lt Cdr Dave MacKay RNR.
She sounds in great shape!







Thanks for looking.
Mark

Quite agree! Centaurus. not quite Griffon or Merlin but close enough!

I think the Centaurus is a bit more reliable and damage tolerant than the Merlin or Griffin. I speak after 2000hrs on the Shackleton, which cost me a lot of friends.
