+ @lardyify There are several Typhoon/Tempest projects but nothing that is close to finished and none of them have started rebuilding Sabre engines until the airframes are farther along. A flyable Sabre will be a challenge and there are not many of them around.
Outstanding but too short & the Typhoon didn't fly. Would've loved to see that. Tempest & Typhoons are super cool. Hurricanes are still damn exciting though.
Me too...concerning Typhoon comments below...where did this Typhoon come from...?! The only one I can think it could be would be the static example from the Hendon museum...otherwise, the nearest to flying example I have heard of is still a list of parts...in a restoration society project??
@Colin Gregson this Typhoon is the only complete example in the world and spent many years on display in the RAF Museum in North London. In recent years it was loaned to Canada and was repainted prior to returning to the the U.K. via RAF Coningsby.

@@fragotron Try reading, it can be enlightening. The Spit was a flash in the pan? In production from 1937 through the end of WWII? Which other plane was developed so long?

@@fragotron the Typhoon was a great aircraft with an amazing engine & it first found an application in overhauling and shooting down FW190 & other raiders because it was exceptionally fast!
The sound of all those engines was awesome. Just hope these old girls keep flying for a long time before they’re too old, fragile and historically invaluable to fly again. It’ll be a sad day when they take their final flight.
There is just something about the sound of multiple Merlins that is so evocative. It's sad that there are only two flying Lancasters, imagine what the sound would have been like when we flew 1000 at a time?

+ mreid08 Static only, not running. There are two or three Sabre-powered projects in progress, but one project is paused and not all of them have a complete Sabre engine to work with. I don't think there are even enough Sabre engines around for someone to get ground runner on a stand.
Until British fighters added 20mm cannons, they generally were greatly undergunned. Even the Bombers should have started with Browning .50 caliber guns. Obviously some "old fart" decided .303's were adequate, some WW1 Relic, with investments in .303 Manufacturing. The Germans and Russians learned quickly that cannons were THE way to arm fighters. Me-262 armed with 30mm's were devastating in aerial combat. Generally, even one good 30mm hit, could bring an aircraft down. 20mm mostly took 2 or more hits, whereas, tiny British 30 calibers were very short ranged, and took many, many hits for ANY German aircraft. Even the old, slow Ju87 took many hits, but usually only hitting it's radiator brought a Stuka down. German armor easily defeated .303 hits.
RAF soon adopted the 20mm cannon. By 1941 all fighters were equiped to some extent. The 'universal' wing on the later Spitfires could carry any conbination of .303 .50 or 20mm cannon. Some Lancasters toward the end of the War had twin .50 in the rear turret. Its OK to critisize pre War thinking in hindsight, but know one could have forseen what was to develop. Don't forget No 19 Squadron had Cannon fitted Spitfires during the Battle of Britain but were very unreliable due to the Spitfires thin wing. I think some in the Air Ministry championed the cannon, but until made reliable, stuck with the .303s. There was also a Battle of Britain Hurricane of 151 Squadron with an experinental twin 20 mm set up, but again suffered stoppages.
I THOUGHT THERE WERE NO TEMPESTS & TYPHOONS LEFT FLYING IN THE WORLD TODAY? I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THERE WAS ONLY 1 LEFT IN THE WORLD ON SHOW IN A MUSEUM. WHERE DID THIS 1 COME FROM?

This is the only complete original Typhoon, leant by RAF Museum Hendon to Canada for four years. Delivered back to RAF Coningsby, I was part of the team that picked it up from Coningsby on 20th September, and delivered it by road back to Hendon.
was that tempest a cardboard cutout replica or a big airfix plastic kit for grown ups ,parade it in & out - put it back away in the box. not a good show
It's the only existing complete Typhoon in the world. Normally resides at the RAF museum, Hendon, North London as a static display. It was at the BBMF after being returned from Canada en route back to Hendon. Happy now, mister armchair critic ?

Waited for a flying Typhoon ,one day soon I hope great work keeping the flight going!

Love that Typhoon. A Whirlwind wouldn't be bad either, but I suspect there are none.. :-/
There are no complete whirlwinds, but there is a group who are working to build one using the ID of one that was crashed and recovered.
Love the old war birds when you had to fly them not a computer I hope to see them one day beautiful
Hopefully one day we will see COL flying with Just Jane NX611

Surely the Typhoon is only static??? or is the BBMF now restoring aircraft themselves?!!
It’s static and was in the RAF Museum for many years before being loaned to Canada recently. Now back in UK.
The raf are de-skilled and incapable!
Love the sound of the Lancaster as it takes off

only surviving Typhoon , bit risky to fly
Especially if flown by a raf pilloct

There are 3 flying Lancs at the moment and I think one or two more in the pipeline.

4:20 What's better than the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin on takeoff? Four of them 👍
Shame, while these were airborne increased the flyable RAF warplanes by 400%.
That Tempest looks like a proper Killer!
*Typhoon 👍
Why is this presentation introduced with an aircraft that was not involved in the Battle?
A proper BoB Show requires German aircraft. Less that, it's simply inadequate.
The raf pillock crashed the 109!

Kermit Weeks purchased a Typhon and was duly ship out to America for restoration a few years ago.
