Any Tempest news?

Has anyone got any updates on the various Tempest restorations, I remember reading something about one of them possibly flying in 2003/04, is this still so?

Many thanks Tom. Any idea as to which Squadrons markings these Tempests are going to be painted in?

Jerry Cooper’s example may well fly next year if Vintage V12s pull their fingers out and overhaul his Centaurus as the airframe is now finishing wiring and radio fit and all that’s left to do is the cowls so he said recently. Kermit’s MKV won’t be flying for a few years yet, might be taking a trip across the atlantic quite soon but that’s all to come. Meanwhile here’s a progress shot of the tailplane from ‘693
