treadigraph, you have control!

It was indeed HM599, the sole example of the very clean prototype Tempest I.

The latter days of the Tempest V amused me. Being posted to fly the RAF's last and most powerful single piston engined fighter at RAF Sylt, a German holiday resort much frequented by naturists, was considered to be a 'bad boys posting'!!
