Identity

            It's always rewarding to see a warbird abroad showing a strong British connection.

In this instance, Hawker Sea Fury N19SF moves along whilst folding its wings after displaying at Chino, California in 2000.

It correctly wears Royal Canadian Navy colours, but the serial worn of TG114 really only relates to the cockpit section, with other parts of the airframe being from other unknown aircraft.

Most of the rest of the original TG114 remain in another airworthy example which was converted to a two-seater many years ago, but has been further modified with a special cockpit and is used for air racing and painted in a very 'non-military' livery. 

Whist this aircraft looks genuine, another point of note is that it has a Wright R-3350 engine in place of the original Bristol Centaurus, seen as a more reliable powerplant.
