Editors Note: Warbirds Directory 6 (WD6) indicates the surviving airframe is likely built up from Sea Fury airframes from the Royal Navy and the Iraqi Air Force. WD6 indicates the centre-section is definitely marked WJ298. For that reason the airframe in this dossier is identified as such. WD6 goes on to indicates this it is likely the paperwork of Iraqi Air Force 308 and the tail section of that airframe was delivered to Mr. Zuccoli from Orlando. |
