On 10 June 1989 this aircraft was lost after the starboard undercarriage leg couldn't be lowered at Prestwick Air Show. As landing in that configuration was deemed too dangerous, the pilot baled out at 6,000ft and was rescued by a Sea King helicopter. The Sea Fury crashed into the Firth of Clyde off Turnberry, Ayrshire. This photo is copyright © Fergal Goodman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
