Delivered to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1951, this Sea Fury was SOC in 1957 and went to a trade school in Calgary. In 1966, it went on display at HMCS Tecumseh, the Canadian Naval Reserve unit in Calgary. It was preserved outside with a Supermarine Seafire and a McDonnell Banshee in their RCN colors. Later all three were restored by the Aero Space Museum of Calgary and returned for presentation inside at the new Naval Museum of Alberta at the same site.
