Hawker Tempest TT.5 This aircraft shows its last role in RAF service - that of a target tug - which was undertaken by one of the most potent Allied fighters of WW2. The Hawker Tempest was a superb aircraft, designed by Sir Sydney Camm, and a direct development of the Hawker Typhoon. A Napier Sabre H-bored sleeve-valve engine provided more than 2,000hp. However, dressed in black and yellow undersides, a more mundane task awaited it in the post-War world. This is owned by the RAF Museum, but has since been moved.
