Hey, no prizes for guessing that one... :-) My email address (well, one of them anyway) suggests that pretty strongly (as does the "FB11" on the plates on my Plymouth, though the car is a Neon rather than a Fury!).
As Eric indicates, I get this glint in my eye when someone so much as says the word "Fury". The Hornet/Sea Hornet are favourites as well. And pretty much anything with wings from the 40s and 50s is of interest. Additionally I do paintings of aircraft, mainly from that era.
Flukey stuff I've snared includes a "bang seat" from an HP Victor that crashed locally (it ended up in the care of a museum that did not want it), and a an ex-Anson propeller that spent twenty years in a neighbour's garage before I spied it as the chap was readying it for a yard sale the next day...One never knows, does one.
