How could I not react to a subject containing the word Typhoon? :)

Different people will give you different answers to the canopies....I believe (off the top of my head) that they may be different, afterall the sea fury was supposed to be a very different beast!!!. There are a number of Tempest rebuilds/restorations that have sea fury canopies but none have actually said if they are exactly the same....Tom may be able to answer that particular question.

As for the outer wings...as far as I know they are the same. It is the wing roots which were redesigned.

If I have any more info at home I will let you know...
