The trials and tribulations encountered with early Typhoon operations are well documented. My grateful thanks to Janine Harrington author of 'RAF Matlaske 1940 -1945 A Brief History' for allowing me to copy an extract from her interesting book.
A week after Typhoon R8825 was photographed (as seen above) her pilot had a lucky escape.
