 Built as a “de-navalised” Sea Fury that lacked a tail hook, folding wings and other naval equipment for the Iraqi Air Force and allocated the registration 253.
Enterprising warbird collectors bought Iraq’s surplus 24 Furies and all spares and shipped them to Florida. Four of these ex-Iraqi Furies made their way to Australian warbird collector Guido Zuccoli.
Iraqi Air Force Fury number 253 eventually ended up in the hands of Ted Allen, a Queensland earthmoving contractor. He restored the machine and painted it in Royal Australian Navy colors, including black-and-white “invasion stripes” as sported by Sea Furies flying off HMAS Sydney in the Korean War. Its Australian Civil Aviation Authority registration registration was VH-HFA
Also previously registered with the FAA as N40SF, the aircraft is now sited at The War Eagles Air Museum in New Mexico and maintained in Airworthy condition.
