David, thanks for the note, it was interesting to hear of what the project consisted. I remember at the time I saw the ad wondering what it consisted of. Any idea if there are pictures of these parts? Do you know if the Tempest mainspars would be any good in an airworthy rebuild? I have always wondered if there was much commonality between the Typhoon and Tempest.

Cheers,
Richard

PS. That does rathere leave the origins of this Canadian Typhie in question still, doesn't it?
