Sea Fury?
Located in India, but Wiki says they never operated them. Possibly from nearby Burma or Pakistan?
Or is it a Sea Fury?
In the foreground is the Marut. My brother took the photo in India recently.

It is the Air Force Museum at Palam. I've been a few times. It has a great collection, athough sadly many are given a simple silver coat. It is refreshing because it is devoid of many US types! That is a Tempest.

Cheers Martin!
He didn't say what museum is was - but googling easily comes up with the Tempest based on the Palam clue.

No wonder they changed - looks complicated to paint!

Not if you have 1BN people eager for work! ;). It was probably a decal.
