Wowza what a beautiful aeroplane she is, but is that the real prototype or is it a spurious number and when was she snapped up in other words is it current I hope so :clap:

its not the original prototype, that was scrapped. it is a Fury ISS (Iraqi single seater) which is basically a land based version of the sea fury. Air Leasing brought it over from Australia last summer. Its current and flew at a few airshow last year and also flew yesterday at 'Fly Navy' and is due to be at Flying Legends this year.
