Hawker Tempest in the RPAF

Beautiful aircraft, any surviving models in any museum ?

Only two Tempest IIs are exhibited in museums, one each at RAF Museum and IAF Museum. Seven more are held at private collections, all but one are ex-IAF. Full list can be found in the survivors section of the website. Sadly, I am not aware of anything surviving out of RPAF Tempests.

Wow
I never knew there was so much to know about this aircraft.

Thank you very much for this piece of information.

I appreciate your comment. There is a lot more to be written about Tempest in the RPAF, I already have some more information, but I wanted to keep the text in reasonable size. I would like to have a list of all associated personnel, as well as movements of aircraft within the RPAF, but I cannot progress without the help of the people having related documents and photos. Other types await their turn as well.
