Hawker Typhoon MkI, RB396 Restoration Project

Hell everyone,

I thought I would draw attention to a project that I am loosely involved with but one of my friends is more closely involved. It is the restoration of a Hawker Typhoon MkI, serial RB396. The project is in an embryonic stage at the moment but some very exciting news is due to be revealed shortly. At the moment the project contains many individual parts, namely the fuselage, elevators, undercarriage and many small items plus a large amount of the aircraft drawings.

The project will soon become a charity enabling donations but at the moment the greatest task is locating as many parts as possible, in particular a set of wings and cockpit.

More information on the project can be found at:

The intention is to fully restore it to flying condition and display it at airshows etc. Some way off yet but the project has been making good progress.

Thanks for your interest!

If you're talking about the Tempest then yes.

Just think though, the sound of TWO Sabres in the air together....
