Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
An excellent and very complete Tempest Mk II project, including the original Bristol Centaurus engine and mount. All the parts are in very good condition. MW404 was built in 1945 and served with No. 247 Squadron in Chilbolton in Hampshire, England. After it had been in service for two years the plane was bought back by the manufacturer, refurbished and sold to the Indian Air Force (IAF), entering active duty in 1948. After the type was retired from front line service in 1954, MW404 was assigned decoy duties at Poona Air Force Base, along with at least a dozen other Tempest IIs
