1949 Hawker SEA Fury FB.MK 11Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1949 Hawker Sea Fury FB.MK 11 (Registration F-AZXL, Serial 37514) represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant piston-powered military aircraft. Originally part of the Iraqi fighter fleet imported to the U.S. in the 1970s, this airframe has accumulated 735 total hours and features an original, recovered structure. Power comes from a Curtiss Wright Pratt & Whitney R-3350 engine with 267 hours since its top overhaul in July 2020, paired with an Aéroproduct A642-G805 propeller showing 484 hours since overhaul.

As one of the surviving examples from the Iraqi cache that forms the majority of extant Hawker Furies today, this aircraft holds particular appeal for display and racing applications. The seller notes its popularity among enthusiasts seeking a formidable air racer or impressive warbird display piece. Currently located in France, this Sea Fury presents a turnkey opportunity for collectors or performers interested in a well-documented example with recent engine maintenance.
