    When you see a cutaway model of a sleeve valve radial operating, its just amazing engineering

      Uses 1 gallon of fuel every 15 seconds I've been informed by someone who owns one.

      It is! Although I feel that a lack of spares and expertise will mean that they will die out.

    Nice to know that this bird is being restored in Australia at the moment to flying condition and will keep the Centaurus engine....

    Love the sound of this and the Lavochkin La-9 that flew in 2004....

    Beautiful ...and sounding better with the original Centaurus. :-) (A pity it isn't in 720 or 1080p)

    It is just so purposeful-looking! Born to fight.

    Just curious -- when I see a Sea Fury with a 5-bladed prop, like this one, is that a pretty good indication that it still has the original Bristol Centaurus engine? I see lots of Sea Furys with 4-bladed props and I know that at least some of them have been fitted with American power plants (R2800, R3350, R4360). Is it a requirement that, when the engine swap is done, the prop has to be swapped as well?

      Yes, the Centaurus rotates in the opposite direction.
