Historical Background

The Hawker Tempest Mk.II was a British fighter aircraft introduced into service at the end of World War II, but found its greatest use in the post-war years, including with the Royal Air Force (RAF) as well as the Indian and Pakistani Air Forces. The Mk.II model was distinguished by its Bristol Centaurus radial engine and was deployed in tropical Asian conditions. The aircraft operated both as a fighter, as a fighter-bomber, and in training units from the late 1940s to the early 1950s.
