I think the Hawker Typhoon really came into it's own in the air to ground role, to actually double up the pay load from a brace of 500lb to 1000lb bombs required new prop and tail plane units.

So they do/ did have a sense of humour!

I'm told that the large air scoop under the radiator made them VERY difficult to ditch in the water as they had a tendency to flip onto their back.

Great aircraft anyway and hope that they can get the ex-Indian Airforce UK example (RB 868?????) back into the air one day but maybe avoid any water landings.....
