*** Yes thats about what the scrappies were paying for Sea Fires,Sea Furies,the Sea Hornets realised £25,but that was quite a few bob in those days for scrap,most of the airframes were in bad shape as magnesium alloy castings and salt water do not mix.

In 1955 my dad was at RNAS Arbroath "HMS Condor" and was going to buy a Sea Fury fo £15!!! His mum, my gran told him "No.. Where would you keep it?"
