I just love the design of that SeaFury, what a fantastic plane it is... Too bad it doesn't show properly in FSX SP2 :/

The majority of the problems are the engines, the Bristol Cenuarus and Pegasus engines (not Harrier engines) are limited to about 30 hours display time in a display year before they go back to Warton for over haul that's if they are working ok, last time I was at Shoreham there were spare engines in one of the GA hangars that used to belong to a company that overhauled the Historics engines for them, sadly a bill wasn't paid the engines confiscated and the engineering firm went bust, and the engines have stayed there ever since.

Seems a pity that can't be sorted out before they're scrapped. Which company was this? Who is the present owner of the confiscated parts?
