Considering that it was a development of the Tempest, which was a development of the Typhoon, nothing.

The difference is that Kurt Tank was gay and a women's clothing designer before he turned his effeminate hand to aircraft, and the guys at Hawker will all hard drinking, womanizers who couldn't give a flying toss piece about what they wore.

Although Kurt Tank was much better at designing joysticks for some unknown reason.
