The first Sea Fury plane, powered by a Bristol Centaurus XII, had it's first flight in 21 February 1945, but the first production version with folding wings did not fly until 12 October 1947. The Boulton Paul contract was cancelled in early 1945, and 100 Sea Furies remained on order, the first 50 were completed under the designation Sea Fury Mk X.
Wyvern prototype was first flown in 46, and was found to have a notable performance with a max speed of 456 mph, despite being much heavier than the DC3 transport plane.
F-105 evolved from a project that begun in 51 by Republic Aviation at Farmingdale NY. They tried to design a supersonic tactical fighter-bomber to take the place of the F-84F. The massive F-105 was intended primarily for nuclear strike missions. Prototype first flew on October 22, 1955.
Wellington GR Mk XIV was an anti-submarine airplane carrying nose mounted ASV Mk III cent-metric radar and a Leigh Light. For the radar installation, the nose turret was removed, however, some machines had the outline of a turret painted on to disguise the fact that they were unarmed at the nose.

Su-27 Flanker is the fighter aircraft produced by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and made by Irkut Corporation. The export version is the Su-27SK. Su-27 entered production in 1982 and is in service with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan and Vietnam, and is built under license in China as the F-11.
