Hawker Tempest

PR533, an early production model Tempest Mk.II fighter-bomber, showing the bomb racks under the wings: the later style pitot tube can be seen on the outer port wing.

The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War. The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, intended to address problems with the Typhoon's unexpected low performance by replacing its wing with a much thinner laminar flow design. It emerged as one of the most powerful fighters used during the war.
