Meet Hawker Fury Mk I

The Fury Mk I is a single-engine biplane fighter with an open cockpit and fixed tailwheel undercarriage. Aeroplane Heaven presents it alongside the naval Nimrod, retaining separate aircraft identities while explaining their related cockpit and control arrangements. The two-plane wing structure, conventional tail and absence of a flap system put the Fury’s configuration firmly within its biplane fighter generation.

The manual documents an elevator trim wheel. Pitch trim lets the pilot reduce a continuous stick load as power and speed change, while the main stick continues to command the flight surfaces. The land-based Fury should be read in its own scope; the Nimrod’s naval fittings belong to the other member of the package.

HOW IT CAME TO BE

History & design

The RAF fighter behind a surviving airframe

The Fury was the RAF's fast, single-seat biplane fighter of the early 1930s, designed by Sydney Camm as a companion to the Hawker Hart. Historic Aircraft Collection identifies it as the first RAF interceptor to exceed 200 mph in level flight.

Its Fury K5674 was built in 1935, served with 43 Squadron at Tangmere from 1936 to 1939, and went to South Africa in 1940. After a forced landing and scrapping, the remains were recovered for a long restoration. The aircraft's later identity, G-CBZP, connects the pre-war service machine with the restored example represented in modern displays.

UNDER THE SKIN

Systems & details

The Fury and the naval Nimrod

Aeroplane Heaven’s combined manual explains their related control architecture but names the land fighter and naval fighter separately. Their shared cockpit description includes the elevator trim wheel, while carrier equipment is variant-specific. Neither rendition has an ordinary wing-flap installation in the documented configuration.
