More "Tempestuous" Stuff

The Tempest has taken me over.

As I said, it is one of my favourite aircraft. My excuse for including the clip (from You Tube) is the glorious sound of the 24-cylinder, 2000+ HP, sleeve-valved, supercharged, 150-octane-guzzling Napier Sabre engine.



This film is obviously an Air Ministry training feature intended to obviate "friendly fire", but there's some good flying, great sounds and the whole thing, given the epoch, was very well done I think. Imagine the work - without computer imaging!

A bientôt
