Have you guys seen this newly added pdf?

I didnt realise how good the Sea Fury was, does anyone have a link for similar Bearcat data?
Cheers
The Fury has a rate of climb of over 5,600 ft a min a sea level. What was the Bearcats ElAurens?
edit beat me to it Ratsack
I have always thought that the SeaFury's rate of climb was closer to that of the Tempests but its performance was phenomenal.
410 mph at sea level!
Also Id disagree about the concepts between the SeaFury and the Bearcat differing that much. Both were designed as light fighters, lighter and smaller than their forebearers and both were heavily influenced by the Fw 190.
