Ahhhh, nice to see 29 Sqn back...

Shows I gave you completely spurious info the other day Craig (Having said that the little Typhoon on the RAF display dates page was in 17 Sqn colours!)...

Very nice Craig. The clouds make for good vapor effects.

Do they put a Roman Numeral after aircraft named after an older one? They do here.
i.e., (P-47) A-10 Thunderbolt II, (F4U) A-7E Corsair II, etc..

No. A proper Typhoon has a more heavily framed canopey with a car door style hatch.

No, the teardrop hood four bladed prop version was the definitive Typhoon. Granted this only has a three blade. What ever it

Yeah but by then it might as well just be a Tempest.

I prefer the retro feel of the car door canopy.

later Typhoons also had a Tempest tail

As for the car door type, I'm in the early stages of building one now.
