"I was very recently on the ground at Balad Air Base in Iraq and didn't see any Seafury wreckage. I will be back there in just a couple of weeks and will take a better look to see what I can find."
I don't know the precise location of the Sea Fury...again, this was someone else's tape.
When I was hitting MiGs at Balad SE, they were dispersed to the east/southeast of the field in what looked like some fields from the air. There were also some to the north of the field, but I wasn't involved in putting any bombs on those...
If you happen to bring back any MiG parts from there, I'd sure be interested in getting my hands on something as a souvenir!
There were certainly a lot more aircraft struck at Al Taqqadum if you can make it over there.
