Sacrilege !!!

Sounds very likely, The Sea Fury didn't see combat during WW II, so the
Luftwaffe couldn't have captured one. But she probaly is the plane that
closest resemble a Fw-190, and I don't think any of those vere around in
1953.

Pure speculation, but I would suspect this was used as a prop for a movie.

Agreed! I can only think that with that paint job it must have been
used as a movie stand-in for a rare, unobtainable bird.
That said, the paint job is so wrong on many levels.

Here's an interesting snippet. Unfortunately I can't trace the original
article on this which I read many years ago.

Well, yes. "Royal Navy" on the rear fuselage is a bit of a give away, as
is the RN colour scheme.

Agreed! The fuselage cross looks like it was suck on over the roundel,
which can just bee seen ppeeking over the square of the sticker. Then
the words "Royal Navy" remain quite visible. I don't think this was
meant to pass close scrutiny.

Sort of a poor man's "Tora Tora Tora" display for an airshow, with the
Sea Fury doing a surprisingly decent stand-in for the Bad Guy...?

Yup! I remember those "Tora Tora Tora" AT-6's and their cosmetic makeover.
A few fast low passes and most folks watching a movie would be none the wiser.
