Hawker Typhoon RB396 Restoration

It's well worth checking out this truly unique project.
I can't imagine there will be another serious effort to get an example of this rare and historically important type flying.
We're now fortunate to have many examples of Spitfire and even Hurricane flying in the UK, but the Typhoon is one of several somewhat forgotten WWII-era types from the UK's rich aviation history.

An Internet search for "Typhoon RB396" ought to bring up the project website which contains loads of information on the project to-date and their future plans.

They've recently launched their first public crowd funding campaign to raise money for the airworthy rebuild of the rear fuselage.
This is due to commence soon at Airframe Assemblies Ltd.
