Photo Comment

One of two Sea Furys awaiting restoration at Southend with Lincoln RF342/G-APRJ as backdrop, WJ288 was first delivered to the RN in 1951 and went on to a long Warbird flying career, first as G-SALY then N15FS, now based at Midland, TX. The other Southend Sea Fury, WJ244, became G-FURY but was written off in 1981
