So far I have managed to track 4 Typhoons in the Middle East. 3 were on test with RAAF 451 squadron during 1943 (Trying to remember the year off the top of my head). I have the movement card for another Typhoon which had it being sent to the middle east....this is an unknown destination. July 1945 also saw a single example being shipped to Russia via the middle East (for some strange reason). The Middle East Typhoons never came back after their successful trial. The movement cards have them as 'PSOC 1947' i.e. clear the records out!!!
