MN235 This is only one surviving completly restored Typhoon on the World. Built under sub-contract by the Gloster Aeroplane Co Ltd at Gloucester as one of total 3317 Typhoon aircrafts, delivered to RAF in Ferburary 1944. In April 1944 transfered to USA for flight evaluation, in response to a USAAF requirement to investigate the Typhoons' potential as a fighter-bomber. In 1949 allocated to the National Air Museum of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington. In 1968 shipped back to England, fully restored an in 1972 moved to RAF museum Hendon. Painted as the post D-Day Normandy invasion strafer of the Second Tactical Air Force. |

MN235 Of the 3,317 Typhoons built this is the sole surviving complete example. The type first flew in 1940 and was intended as a replacement for the Hurricane. In 1943 ground attack rockets were fitted and the type became extremely successful in that role. They must have been a magnificent sight in the air. This example was assessed by the USAF in 1944 and it was presented to the RAF Museum by the Smithsonian in 1967 |

MN235 This is the world's only surviving Hawker Typhoon. It is, as you know, the real Typhoon! Here are no stupid computers or plastic. Only 'good' instruments! :-) It is now resting after a long life in the RAF Museum. |

MN235 The Typhoon played a key role in defeating the Luftwaffe over British skies during WWII. Of the 3000+ airframes assembled, this is the only surviving Typhoon. Despite so many being built, this aircraft was – and still is often mistaken for one of its more 'popular’ counterparts, the Hurricane or Spitfire. |

MN235 The world's sole surviving Hawker Typhoon. This example was actually built under contract by Gloster before being shipped to America where the USAAF flew her in flight evaluation trials. She appeared at the Smithsonian museum for a time, before rightfully taking her place in the RAF Museum Hendon - she's been here since the museum opened in 1972. |

MN235 The real Typhoon - unlike the Eurofighter aircraft of the same name, you won't find any silly computers or plastic here! Affectionately known as the "Tiffy", the 3,300 airframes played a crucial role in WW2. The first two Messerschmitt Me 210 fighter bombers to be destroyed over the British Isles fell to the guns of Typhoons, and during a daylight raid by the Luftwaffe on London, on January 20, 1943, five Fw 190s were destroyed by Tiffys. |
