After retirement from service and several years in storage it was one of around two dozen Fury/ Sea Fury airframes acquired in 1979 by David Tallichet and Ed Jurist. Registered N26SF, it was initially put into storage in Orlando, Florida, until being sold to Guido Zuccoli in 1982, and named “Baghdad Fury”. It has been registered as VH-HFG in 1983 and made its first post restoration flight on November 14th. The aircraft remained owned by the Zuccoli family and has been acquired by Stefano Landi in 2019 and flown as D-CRZY. In November 2023 it was moved to France and registered as F-AYSF.
