I do love how the Beeb still manage to stick the oar in:

It was never the most elegant fighter - the radial engine gives it a brutish look which is entirely in character

Well, this was the most graceful fighter;

If anyone can find evidence of this bird flying in WWII and convince HTC to add it along with the Tempest V, I'll send them cash

Oh, and take this thread to Cuba!

Duma - is that a Sea Fury? Don't know much about it.

Tempest Mk II, Dowding. I've heard there were some in service near the end of WWII (Talking last few weeks though

), but almost certainly no full squadron of them was in service until after WWII. From what I've heard they were to be used in the far east.

"When it entered service in 1941, it could outfly anything in the Allies' hangar."

I'll tell you guys what damnit...I've fallen in love with a new plane...yes, a plane that beats my dear old Spit. That Tempest Mk II is fricking beautiful. I never really looked at or paid attention to Tempests, but damn they're beautiful.
