Built as a Fury ISS (FB10) for Iraq, and later converted to T20 with the Iraqi serial 316. Became N56SF in 1979 and rebuilt as a Sea Fury FB11, flying again in 1995. Destroyed in a fatal crash at Sarnia International Airshow on 9/7/2001 and subsequently completely rebuilt with numerous new parts and a Wright R-3350 engine replacing the original Centaurus, flying again on 2/6/2009. (The Royal Navy serial TF987 has been quoted for this aircraft - incorrectly I think?)
