The aircraft is now highly modified and is flown as a pylon racer and bears the name "Furias" It can be viewed at www.courtesyaircraft.com Good to see that at least it still flies. :)

However being an old classic aircraft they are worth a lot of money and at least it will hopefully be preserved by an enthusiast. The Historic Flight at Nowra have a Firefly that they have rebuilt, I believe to flying condition. It would be nice to see one in the air. Along with several other old Naval aircraft that I'd like to see airworthy ;) Like the Wessex....OK I'm just dreaming. Dave :D
