Seems uncertain yet: If you go down to the woods today... The Hawker Tempest Page An intention to have 2 flyers and one static; appears to be an ongoing saga though.
I hope they are successful! Beautiful aircraft the Tempest. Along with the Typhoon my fav RAF aircraft.
i believe there is a working sabre engine at the museum in wroughton,near swindon in north wiltshire.i cannot for the life of me remember the museums name though.yours,4th wilts.
Cant see it myself, the sabre engine?? Id love to see it (and hear it) but wait and see eh? Kev The Tempest Mk 2 had a Bristol Centaurus engine & so did the Hawker Sea Fury
Kermit Weeks has had a Sabre-engined Tempest under restoration to fly for many, many years. Last I heard it was at PPS, Booker but I haven't seen any reports for a while.
