There is a really nice airplane collection at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas (a "suburb" if you will, of Dallas). Here's a pic of their two-seat Sea Fury. Is that Australian livery?

Here's the link to the museum exhibits:

Yup. Aussie livery. The kangaroo is the first clue.

Yes, that is Australian livery. Looking good. I think our Yanks Air Museum out here in Chino has one of these too.
