Hi Tom,
If you want to hear what a Sabre powered Tempest sounds like, check out the "Wings of history" LP/MC recordings that the Shuttleworth collection made in the 1970?s. On one of them, "The battle of Britain" one track consists of a start-up, takeoff, and flypast by a Hawker Tempest! This, and a BMW powered 190 is what I?d like to see(and hear)these days.
Best regards,
