Thanks for the info...my area is Typhoons but I do try to keep track of Tempests and the restorations as there are many interchangeable parts and as some are remade by restorers then it can sometimes work that they can get 2 made at the same time. Lots of dimensions are also the same so whenever I can get measurements from other aircraft (as I can't get my hands on the Typhoon drawings at the moment) I take the opportunity!!!
Do you know if he has any shots of the Tempest in its present condition?
