This afternoon a particularly loud biplane flew overhead. It sounded
vaguely Spitfire-ish, so probably had a Kestrel engine. It certainly had
a fairly pointed nose. As usual, I didn't have a camera to hand.
Quite a compact looking aircraft, with rounded wingtips.
Is there any record of a Hawker Fury/Hart/Nimrod or similar flying
today? Whatever it was, it was lovely to see.

Google has failed me.

One of those situations where a Tesla brain implant would come in
really handy, share the image you saw like.
I believe some propeller driven planes can be noisy if the tips of the
prop exceed the sound barrier in certain situations, revs, pitch or
summat.

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ has a historical playback feature.
Assuming that the aeroplane in question is bleeping away you may be in luck.

Interesting site! Sadly, no sign of the biplane. Lots of Pipers and
twin-engined airliners though.

This Wikipedia page speaks of an airworthy Fury at Duxford, and mentions
another one being restored to static display:

Coud well have been. Trouble is, Hawker built a number of very
similar-looking aircraft that were generally painted silver. Haven't
heard it from work (just off the Duxford downwind leg), so might have
been a one-off test flight.

Last time I saw something interesting (a US carrier plane) it was easy
to identify from a news article.
