Hawker Typhoon parts.

There was a Tempest with a Griffon, Mk.III (I think). Then there was the Tornado but that wasn’t a Griffon….

Am I right in thinking there was a typhoon fitted with a RR Griffon?

You will never see one fly as the engine has now been discredited despite successful development afterwards.

I recall a rumor of a pair in France, a few years ago but haven’t heard anything since, so you never know.

There are no wings about so its really not far removed from what some people already have.

It’s a shame no one’s been able to persuade the various parts’ owners to pool their resources. There’s probably enough out there to put at least one more largely original Tiffy back together.

Then again, given the cat herding exercises group projects often become….

You have PM’s….

You know my thoughts on that one cees 🙂 sent you a pm

The rear fuselage we have on display is for sale. It was supposedly sold but it hasn’t moved an inch for months.

Personally I would like to see it go the UK and be used in a project. But then again who am I.:o

And I just happen to know where two sets of Tiffie U/C legs are stored…
Owner willing to part I’m told 😉

Try starting a static one first. If you are still willing next stop will be a fllying example. The preservation community could do with a static example on public display (not counting the grp full size model in France).

well ill give flying the tiffy a bash if no one else is brave…or stupid enough to do it 😀

Not me. I’ll be working on my baby Spit! 😉

What motor are you using? 🙂

Me? Er – A volunteer from the audience perhaps….? :p

<< what about two 1980s Ferrari Testarossa flat 12s, mounted one on top of the other? >>

2 x Flat 12 ‘s ,

I think I’v seen that somewhere before !

You gonna fly it then? 😉

If you couldn’t find suitable amounts of engine parts, what can you do then? Substitute the engine for a new one?

As a cheap alternative to a Napier Sabre – what about two 1980s Ferrari Testarossa flat 12s, mounted one on top of the other? 😀

In that pic of the “mostly tiffie” are those real rockets or replicas ?

I had a play with them and they are made of cardboard and light metal.

The stucture from the cockpit backwards is quite rough in build quality but a gorgeous labour of love from all skill from those involved.

I nearly dropped my flask when I turned a corner and saw this in her glory. I’ve taken quite a few piccs of this (I love Tiffies) and will post them when I worked out how to (again).

I spoke to one the guys dressed in period there and unfoprtunatly could only tell me that it was based in Telford. Anyone else any clues to which group is doing this?
