If an article I've read in Air-Britain's AeroMilitaria some years ago about chin radiators (called beard radiators at the time) and how RAE tested them comparing them to leading edge radiators, it was found that there's wasn't a lot of difference in lost performance by using them.

Anyone know the differences between LA610 and VP207 (the other Sabre Fury that had some changes vs LA610)?

This says larger radiators. But you can’t see them in the photo provided.

Hawker Fury I (Sabre-Powered) Fighter

At 483 mph (777 km/h), the Napier Sabre-powered Hawker Fury MK I was one of the fastest piston-powered aircraft ever built. First flown in 1946, the stunning Fury I never entered production.
