Your "Hawker Sea Fury" is actually an F4U Corsair

Other than being low wing taildraggers powered by big radial engines, the two planes really don't have that much in common. The Hawker Sea Fury was an outstanding plane. Here are some more Sea Fury photos. Distinguishing features include 5 bladed propellor and clipped semi-eliptical wing.

The F4U Corsair was also an outstanding plane, once they got the bugs worked out of it. It was known by several nicknames, including the "Bent Wing Bastard" and the "Ensign Eliminator." Distinguishing feature is the inverted gull wing (necessary to give adequate ground clearance for the huge propellor).
