Talk:Hawker Sea Fury

message: Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II is currently used as a reference, dated 1946, with Studio editions as Publisher and with Fred T. Jane as author. There are a few problems with this however. Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II is actually a 1989 reproduction (with reformatting and amendments and the addition of a foreword by Bill Gunston) of the 1946 edition of Jane's All The World's Aircraft, originally compiled by Leonard Bridgman.  Fred T. Jane is definitely not the author or editor as he died in 1916. This should really be fixed and accurate bibliographic details added from someone who has the 2001? edition () that is used - not just copying stuff of WorldCat, if it is going to be used as a reference.Nigel Ish (talk) 15:06, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a 1998 Crescent Books edition ISBN 051767964 clearly written by Bridgman with a forward by Gunston, the page number (127) is still correct but the this version doesnt support the second statement The Sea Fury was powered by the newly developed Bristol Centaurus piston engine, which drove either a four or five-bladed propeller. it makes no mention of four-bladed propeller?

text: I have updated to use the 1998 edition but removed the four-bladed bit (as far as I know only the prototype SR661 had the four-bladed prop. MilborneOne (talk) 15:34, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: IIRC, the five-blader was introduced to reduce a vibration that occurred at certain engine speeds on the original Sea Fury four-blader Centaurus installation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 14:07, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

message: "It was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy, and also one of the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built."
It has 18 pistons? Is there a word missing?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.7.129 (talk) 08:36, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It says "single piston-engined aircraft", which means it has one engine, which has pistons. Not "single-piston engine aircraft", which would mean its engine has only one piston. - BilCat (talk) 09:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

message: With this edit  completely changed the meaning of the second sentence of the lead.  There have been several faster twin engined, single seat aircraft, the point was not that this aircraft was single seat, but that it was single engined.  I have reverted the change which I mnissed because it was the first of a series of edits and thus whan I checked my watch list I did not see it at the time. - Nick Thorne talk 00:09, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The current infobox image is not the Hawker Fury in its original colors, and I believe if an image of it in its original color would better represent the Sea Fury Forevernewyes (talk) 23:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Which images?  As far as I can see, the image there now :File:Sea Fury - Fly Navy 2017 (cropped).jpg has been there for over a year and it's also a representation of the original prototype and its colour scheme (note the P - Prototype roundel marking on it) Andy Dingley (talk) 01:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
