Brief History: -

• The Hawker Typhoon,was a pivotal aircraft for the Royal Air Force during the Second World ,and was originally designed as a high-speed interceptor to counter German aircraft.
• By 1943, it had evolved into a powerful ground-attack platform. Its robust design, featuring a Napier Sabre engine, allowed it to carry rockets and bombs, making it invaluable during the Normandy invasion. This crucial role in one of the most significant events of the war, and subsequent contributions to the liberation of Europe, cemented its place as a vital component in the Allied forces' victory.
• Despite early challenges, including engine and structural issues, the Typhoon emerged as one of the war's most feared low-level fighters. Its distinctive profile and roar earned it the nickname "Tiffy" among pilots.
• The aircraft's contributions to the war effort cemented its place as a vital component in the Allied forces' victory.
