    Whilst nice to see a Tempest II in the air, I'd love to see and hear a Tempest V with the Napier Sabre engine.

    Absolutely, that’s the definitive WWII Tempest. Might have to wait a while for that though. I believe that Kermit Weeks ones restoration has slowed since the engineer working on it retired .

    I see it's got a Centaurus installed and not a replacement Pratt and Whitney. That is good news.
