Typhoon Plans
Hi all,
A friend of mine, is re-building (slowly and painfully) a Typhoon, from bits he has acquired over the years.
Now what he needs are the plans, but he's not sure if any are in existence.
The was a rumour, that BAe had a complete set, but he has no idea of who to talk to.
Can anyone help? Also, does anyone know of any bits of Tiffie knocking around, that need a good home?
Thanks
Tony

Hawker Typhoon Rebuild
Suggest trying the RAF Museum at Hendon, they have a Typhoon there and might have plans or other paper work of interest to your mate. Some time ago there was a thread here about a Typhhon being refurbished (in USA?), maybe you could run a search and see if you can dig that out, might be some useful info.

Jet Age Museum have some bits too...........unless of course that's where your friend is!
I've just come back from holiday in France - at Caen Memorial they have a full size Typhoon replica suspended from the ceiling. He could try contacting them to see who supplied it;

The D-Day museum at Shoreham is a very good suggestion. Apart from all the odds and ends, they have a cockpit mock-up – you’d be hard put to tell, but the framework is actually old scaffolding poles. I had a long chat with the guy that built it and I believe that he is regarded as quite an authority on the aircraft. That apart, it’s a smashing little museum and well worth a visit.

Wub, hate to say this but you have the wrong Typhoon! The one everyone is referring to is the Sydney Camm design - the Hawker Typhoon. Sorry!
Well you did say "uh-oh there is something wrong."

Try contacting engineering at BAe Brough, they have done work on Sea Furies over the years and so must have a lot of paperwork on the Hawker aircraft of that period.
