Hawker Typhoon JP843 restoration update
A few new images of collection parts are now on the website, looking forward to adding a "Construction" gallery as new parts are built in the near future.

Hawker Typhoon JP843 progress
Some news about the Hawker Typhoon project.
They are still looking for parts. Any help welcome
Hawker Typhoon JP843
We currently have data for several sections of the main and rear spar along with most of the heavy ribs; the scan will allow the capture of outer, nose, and trailing edge rib geometry. We can then combine known manufacturing information and material specifications with proven geometry to reverse engineer various components. One of the key areas we will need more information for is the inner wing section (including front and rear spars). The limiting factor with 3D scanning is the internal make-up; where other information isn't available we need examples that can be internally inspected. Due to the heavy construction of the Typhoon's inner wing, it is hoped that sections may still be located to help us move forward. If anyone has information that can help, please do contact us.

Help Hawker Typhoon JP843 project
Ian Slater is behind the project www.hawkertyphoon.com and look for Hawker Typhoon parts for the projects
If you can help, please contact Ian.
See below for more details
I have been researching the
Hawker Typhoon for the last 15 years with the aim of raising profile of
the crews and aircraft, almost forgotten about with in the UK. They
saved many thousands of allied lives and many historians (as I do)
believe that they even shortened the war however, it was not without a
huge sacrifice. Ground attack aircraft were extremely vulnerable and
whenever they were hit then there was often little chance they could get
out of the aircraft. I began listing the surviving parts throughout
the world (there are more than people think) and when I located a
collection of original Hawker drawings and some Typhoon parts I changed
the project to begin a rebuild of a cockpit section. A few years ago I
actually managed to recover the complete read fuselage from Typhoon
RB396 in the Netherlands which finally gave the project and identity and
another change of direction, to restore RB396 completely.
Since the release of the first version of the web site (www.hawkertyphoon.com)
the response has been incredible and with help from the grandson of a
Typhoon veteran, who wanted to help after seeing the site, a Facebook
page was launched which has really raised the profile of the Crews,
Typhoon and the project.
Daniel Brackx forwarded your contact information after our contact seeking information on surviving Typhoon components, a pleasure to be in touch. I am currently restoring a late model Hawker Typhoon with the identity of JP843, the goal of the project is to return this aircraft to airworthy status with the understanding that there are enormous hurdles to overcome along the way. At present, the project is in need of wing and tail components for use as patterns during the construction process, while I have secured a volume of technical drawings and spare parts, these areas aren't fully covered and any surviving components are needed to complete the missing data. As the project is in Canada, it is often difficult to find collectors and museums that know of remaining components. Would you know of any groups or organisations involved with recovering or displaying remaining Typhoon components that may be willing to provide information or items for reverse engineering purposes (items would be returned once data is collected)?I look forward to hearing from you.Best regards,Ian SlaterVM Aerospace Ltd.Office: 250-337-1939Cell: 250-702-7142Fax: 888-519-1665Email: ian@vmaerospace.com

The film was made by the grandson of a 181 squadron pilot for the 60th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. Thanks for watching and taking time to learn about the Typhoon Pilots role in the second world war. The Hawker Typhoon was a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. While the Typhoon was designed to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, and a direct replacement for the Hawker Hurricane, several design problems were encountered, and the Typhoon never completely satisfied this requirement. Other external events in 1940 prolonged the gestation of the Typhoon. Nicknamed the Tiffy in RAF slang, the Typhoon's service introduction in mid-1941 was also plagued with problems, and for several months t... more | |
