I was reminded of this plane and topic by a Fury thread last week but correctly decided it wasn't worth the risk to raise the issue.
The idea of restoring a Tempest II in the USA with a R3350 makes a lot of sense - is there any update on what is actually happening with the restoration?

Sure you can, but according to the WIX rules, after your 8th ban, you have to use your real name as your handle. After your 9th ban you have to include your last name too.


Ok that was funny. :lol: Well done sir.

Any update on this project? Information about the project and the website seem to have vanished from what I can find.

A quick Google search produced this: http://www.hawkertempest.se/index.php/s ... -20/mw4043 With an update this past December.

A cool project, I hope to see it in its completed form.
