No the Tempest isn't jinxed !! I was involved with the rebuild of Dave Martin's machine and the jinx didn't involve his other machine so no the isn't one !! The main problem is the engine and the lack of spares for it - it simply isn't a Sea Fury motor ! Dave had another idea for a Tempest II which would have been fun but sadly he didn't live to see it . Regards the Napier's the simply isn't enough spares around to seriously consider flying one on the display circuit.
