Apparently the Typhoon Icon is also registered with the Tempest, untill you get close so to make this easier to identify here is a little primer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKq51LdJ-ZU&feature=related

Awesome. Thanks.
"Reaching Newchurch airfield at 480 mph I held ‘RB’ down to 20ft from the runway and then pulled her up to a 60 degree climb, holding it as the speed dropped slowly off and the altimeter spinning round the dial as if it were mad. At 7000ft the speed was dropping below 180 mph and I rolled the Tempest lazily inverted, then allowed the nose to drop until the horizon, at first above my head, disappeared below (or rather above) the now inverted nose, the fields and the woods steadied into the centre of the windscreen and then whirled around as I put the stick hard over and rolled around the vertical dive. Steadying again I pulled out over the tree tops at 500 mph, throttled back and pulled hard over towards the airfield in an over vertical climbing turn, lowering the wheels and flaps in a roll as the speed dropped. What a magnificent aeroplane! They could have all their Spitfires and Mustangs!”
From Roland Beaumont, talking about flying the Tempest.
