It could have been the Sea Fury's last 'kill' (http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?126237-It-could-have-been-the-Sea-Fury-s-last-kill)
Following the usual "aircraft four miles south of Winchester southbound, are you on frequency?" and the subsequent, "we have an unidentified aircraft in the zone", and the rerouting of nsome inbounds, on the Solent Approach frequency at lunchtime today, a slightly unusual outcome...
Also on frequency, the RN historic flight Seafury offers, "would you like me to intercept?" The controller was somewhat taken aback and was noncommittal in her reply. Sure enough, a few minutes later we hear the slightly more amazing information, “It appears to be a Beaufighter or Mosquito”. The controller is now thoroughly confused and asks for more information. “It’s a high performance twin engine fighter”, offers the Seafury. “Did you get a call sign?” asks the controller. “No but it's in camouflage with yellow spinners”, advises the Seafury
