A great project.
This might be old news to people on here but there is also this going on:

= Another project to get a Typhoon in the air. We are all crossing our fingers, toes, and wishing everyone well in these I’m sure? The last of these istalking about 2024, for the 80th anniversary of D-day. So that is 6 years, nine months and twenty two days and counting! Approximately?

Quite probably the man who knew about these matters; Eric Brown, should have the last word on this subject. It appears that he didn’t think much of the Mustang, tho’ which mark I do not know.

He did tho’ I understand, rate the Spitfire Mk X1V as the best.

He also considers the Tempest mkV as the best WW2 fighter below 20,000ft, the fighter the Me262 pilots feared most.
I’ve gota thing about the Typhoon and Tempest, people might notice? My uncle was a Tempest 2 pilot and loved it.Painted by Neil Higgs of Soaring Scenes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]244777[/ATTACH]

Hi
My vote would go to the typhoon, as a fighter well over rated , and yes I am a tiffie fan, but the tails fell off, and the only good bit was the engine , which frequently stopped, and many good pilots were lost in tiffies.
It’s main claim to fame was the fact it was fast and could catch a 190, now a 190 I would never claim over rated, and I am not a fan of it, But after all didn’t the RAF develop the tiffie into a 190 copy , ( the tempest ) and then further refine it into a fury.
Just my opinion.
I was told once by a spitfire pilot, that the Mk V was a very nice plane & the IX was nice also, but all those that came after were beasts to fly.
Cheers

The Typhoon!! This is sacrilege!Yes, it was pretty lousyas an interceptor,pilots passed out and the tails fell off, but otherwise it was immensely strong, able to take huge punishment, well-armed and devastating in attack. Plus it led to the best fighter of WW2,:love-struck: the Tempest. The Tempest, the allied fighter that the Me262 pilots feared the most. If only one of these was still flying, I’d be extremely happy.

Question for you technical-savvy people: There are several Sea Furries still flying. Is that not close enough to the Tempest and therefore the Typhoon to be raided for missing parts?

Thanks, all done, just have to wait and see if the system works.

I understand that the Veldpris museum in Holland is rebuilding a Typhoon to airworthy status and are scouring the fields of Europe for missing parts. I suppose there must be a lot of debris scattered around northen France?It would be fantastic news if either of these projects are completed. the BBMF could do with the addition of a Typhoon or Tempest!
