Korean War photo. VX730 was damaged in a forced landing on to Currarong Beach NSW on March 9, 1959. The Australian War Memorial has a Sea Fury displayed as VX730. It has extensively researched this aircraft and says it is basically VW232. It believes the real VX730 was accidentally scrapped and VW232 substituted with its identity before delivery to the Sydney Technical College. Because VX730 had been a combat veteran and VW232 had always been an instructional airframe with the RAN, the Sea Fury is displayed as VX730. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

Delivered to RAN 29/05/73 arriving Nowra NSW 07/06/73. Later coded '800'. Fitted with specialised electronic equipment between 1978 and 1980 and subsequently used for electronic countermeasures training. Initially operated by 851 Squadron and transferred to 723 Squadron 31/08/84. Decommissioned 23/06/00 and ferried East Sale for storage/sale 26/06/00. The logistics of moving such a large aircraft proved too much and N15-709 was broken up in 10/2019. On 23/10/2019 the forward fuselage plus a 2-metre section of the centre fuselage containing the EWTS arrived at FAAM Nowra

The Museum's Firefly WD 827 was delivered to No 817 Squadron at Nowra Naval Air Station in New South Wales on December 10 1950. On July 21 1952 it was assigned to No 723 Squadron with the Joint Anti-Submarine Warfare School at Nowra. It was then transferred to Schofields Naval Air Station on June 8 1954 and returned to Nowra as an instructional airframe on November 14 1954. It was sold to the Australian Air League at Blacktown New South Wales on November 2 1956, and the Museum acquired it from there in March 1973, and it is currently on display.

The Museum's Firefly WD 827 was delivered to No 817 Squadron at Nowra Naval Air Station in New South Wales on December 10 1950. On July 21 1952 it was assigned to No 723 Squadron with the Joint Anti-Submarine Warfare School at Nowra. It was then transferred to Schofields Naval Air Station on June 8 1954 and returned to Nowra as an instructional airframe on November 14 1954. It was sold to the Australian Air League at Blacktown New South Wales on November 2 1956, and the Museum acquired it from there in March 1973, and it is currently on display.

Purchased by the RAN in February 1956, WZ931 left the UK a month later onboard HMAS Melbourne. On arrival at Sydney it went to 724 Sqdn, Nowra. During a display the airframe was subjected to 8G, causing a cracked spar and buckling of the starboard stub-plane. After repairs it was operated by 805 Sqdn before going on display at the FAA Museum, Nowra. It arrived at SAAM from there in October 1987. It had been intended that the Sea Venoms for the RAN would be built by DHA Bankstown like the Vampire, but this changed to direct purchase of 39 which served till 1970 when A-4s took over.

In addition to widespread use by the RAAF, the RAN's 724 Sqdn operated 10 MB.326s in the 1970s, although remaining examples were transferred to the RAAF in 1983. This one became A9-077 but was restored to its Navy colours for display in 2009. Beautifully presented in what must be one of the best museums for photography I've visited worldwide - good light, well spaced and little clutter.
