"One of the batch of Hawker Fury airframes secured by Ed Jurist and David Tallichet from Iraq in 1970, FB.11 325 was restored to flight by George H Baker’s American Aero Services with a Wright R-3350 in place of the original Bristol Centaurus, folding wings and a second seat for a passenger. Registered N71GB and wearing Royal Australian Navy markings the aircraft first flew in 1990 and went on to compete at Reno 18 times, first under the name Sky Fury and later as Southern Cross. In 2008 she became Race #71 Sawbones with Royal Canadian Navy roundels over the kangaroos and quickly became a crowd favorite. However her racing career ended with a canopy failure at the 2019 National Championship Air Races, pilot and former Space Shuttle commander Curt Brown making a safe landing,"
