One of the Iraqi Furies recovered from storage in 1979. Confusingly for enthusiasts, it was painted to resemble Australian Navy Sea Fury WH589, which had been parked at Bankstown airport for many years as a potential target towing aircraft with Illawarra Aviation. That aircraft was sold in the US. Initially, VH-HFX carried the serial WE729 (a British Sea Fury that ended up in Cuba) but this was later changed to WH589. In 1991 -HFX was sold in the UK as G-BTTA, eventually making its way back to Australia as VH-ORN in 2010

This is an ex RNZAF aircraft NZ1485 and was ZK-DAM before coming to Australia in 1986. It was loaned to the Fleet Air Arm Museum and painted to represent Australian navy aircraft A17-692. The real A17-692 is at the RAAF Museum Point Cook with the civil rego VH-AWA. VH-NVT later repainted in its correct RNZAF markings. Crashed into the sea off Fraser Island, Queensland.
