OCEAN - Vintage Air Display - to mark one of the greatest achievements in naval aviation - 60 years ago - a Hawker SEA FURY T.20 performed a fly past of the Helicopter Carrier OCEAN during Families’ Day off Plymouth.  It was 60th anniversary of the piston-engined fighter’s downing of a MiG 15 jet over North Korea – one of the finest moments in Fleet Air Arm history.    Six decades ago, this August (2012) an SEA FURY of 802 Squadron operating from the deck of the Aircraft Carrier OCEAN –the only occasion a British piston-engined fighter shot down a jet.
