Sander Aeronautics has been contracted to build this Hawker Sea Fury FB.11, complete with state-of-the-art avionics and a Wright R-3350-26WD.
This Hawker Sea Fury is being resurrected from the ground up and being restored to the highest of standards, with some components of the airplane having never flown.
No expense is being spared to restore this Hawker Sea Fury to one of the finest flying in the world.
The wiring was completed by Chuck Cabe, exhaust built by Sam Davis and the first engine run was performed at Sanders Aeronautics by Dennis Sanders on March 17, 2009.
Dennis Sanders completed the taxi test and took the Sea Fury up for a successful first post restoration flight on June 2, 2009. The Sea Fury was shipped via boat to France, painted in this beautiful Australian scheme and assembled (with Sanders Smoke Generators under the wing tips) for its first flight at its new home in France.
