Airborne: This was the last flight of a Sea Fury fighter bomber which served in the Korean War. She was hauled into the air from the deck of RFA Robert Dundas in Portsmouth Dockyard by crane, before being sailed to Fleetlands, Gosport, as an open day attraction. She would later be transported to Yeovilton Royal Naval Air Station, where she would be placed in the Fleet Air Arm Museum. The News (4026-1) Photo: The News archive
