EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the power and grace of a Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 taking off from the flight deck of HMAS Sydney on 8 February 1949. The Hawker Sea Fury was a postwar carrier-borne fighter aircraft that served with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and other naval aviation forces around the world. The Sea Fury was a significant advancement over its predecessors, with improved performance and capabilities that made it a formidable fighter in the fleet air arm. In this image, we see VW240, a Sea Fury FB.11 of 703 Squadron, preparing for takeoff from the flight deck of HMAS Sydney. The ship, a Leander-class light cruiser, was a key component of the RAN's postwar naval aviation capabilities. The Sea Fury's distinctive silhouette is framed against the backdrop of the open sea, with the ship's funnel and mast providing a sense of scale. The pilot, dressed in his flying gear and helmet, is poised at the controls, ready to take off and join his comrades in the skies above. The photograph captures the raw power and energy of the Sea Fury as it lifts off the flight deck, its wings slicing through the air as it gains altitude. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of naval aviation in the postwar era, and the vital role that aircraft carriers played in projecting power and protecting naval forces around the world. Taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown of the Royal Air Force Museum, it is a stunning example of the art and science of aviation photography.
