2nd Airworthy Tempest II project : – o

Hi There,

 I was going to post the latest video from Hawker Tempest Mk.II MW763 (G-TEMT),  however I came across an article (Courtesy of Jamie Ewan ),  of a second Airworthy restoration Hawker Tempest Mk.II MW758 on this here web site via the Premium Historic section,  that is unless you are a tight wad like me you pay for so you will already be aware I assume ?  :- )

Anyway here is the link https://www.key.aero/article/another-hawker-tempest-bound-uk-skies and all of the recent G-tempt engine run ups and the article for the 2nd project.

I’m sure I remember an eminent Typhoon/Tempest historian telling me that originally there were about a dozen aircraft discovered in the Indian cache, but the buyer only wanted half that number and had the remainder scrapped…

I think this makes four or five Tempest Mk.II projects underway to fly?
