The Luftwaffe employed the ‘262s primarily as bombers, under orders from Hitler, and so the Typhoons were rarely caught in a dogfight with them.

In any case the Tempest had the respect of the Luftwaffe. The Tempest V prototype first flew on 2 September 1942, and the first production aircraft appeared on 25 June 1943; this version was chosen with the Sabre II, a well-tried power unit available in quantity. Gl… It was largely replaced by the de Havilland Hornet during 1948, but a few squadrons still flew Tempests until 1951, including several squadrons in Germany.

Just food for thought. During 1945, an additional accomplishment of the Tempest was the scoring of a number of kills against the new German jets, including the Messerschmitt Me 262. After seven Tempests were lost to flak at Rheine-Hopsten in a single week, the “Rat Scramble” was discontinued.

However, there were a few instances where Typhoons shot down ‘262s in combat. Till then, the Hispano did 600-700 rpm.

For a while, in March 1945 a strict “No”, repeat, No ground attacks” policy was imposed; this only applied for a few days.The top scoring Tempest pilot was Squadron Leader David C. “Foobs” Fairbanks DFC, an American who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941.

This entered RAF service post-war, as did the Tempest II with Bristol Centaurus power plant.

The Temp' out dove all of them!

Muzzle velocity was only a touch less at 840 fpm.Strike the previous comment about the 805 kph. Later, with the 2nd TAF in Europe, they not only made a valuable contribution in the close-support role, but claimed the interception and destruction of 20 Messerschmitt Me 262 jet-powered aircraft. Owing to heavy commitments Hawker could not undertake to build more than three and the Mks I, II and V were chosen. Flying Officer Michael Austin D’Arcy's photos Do you want to support the The Hawker Tempest Page?The Hawker Tempest was one of the best fighters of WW2. It was, therefore, numbered among the high-performance aircraft of World War II which began to be affected by the problems of compressibility, with the accelerated airflow over the cambered upper surface of the wing beginning, locally, to approach the speed of sound. In just under three months Tempest Vs destroyed more than one-third of the RAF's total of 1,771 V-1s. Or neglect using boost to favor their own fighter by comparison (GO USA). At 7000 ft the speed was dropping below 180 mph and I rolled the Tempest lazily inverted, then allowed the nose to drop until the horizon, at first above my head, disappeared below (or rather above) the now inverted nose, the fields and woods steadied into the centre of the windscreen and then whirled around as I put the stick hard over and rolled around the vertical dive.

How do I explain the discrepancy in dive between the Temp' and the Spit' XIV I posted already?

Detaillierte Fertigmodelle im Maßstab 1:72 als Set, bestehend aus 2 Flugzeugmodellen. It was more reliable too, in exchange for shorter barrels and less cold weather troubles. The Sabre engine had a reputation of failing frequently but mine never missed a beat in tewo operational tours - one in the Mk6 and one in the Mk2.

The British Hawker Tempest scored several kills against the new German jets, including the Messerschmitt Me 262. Some 1,700 Tempests were manufactured until the aircraft was phased out of service with the RAF in 1949.

("My part of the sky", Roland Beamont) "The Messerschmitt Me 262's most dangerous opponent was the British Hawker Tempest - extremely fast at low altitudes, highly-manoeuvrable and heavily-armed."

When he was shot down and made a POW in February 1945, he had destroyed 12 German aircraft (and one shared) to make him the highest scoring Tempest ace.”Share the post "Hawker Tempests Vs Me-262s and Buzz Bombs"Share the post "Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant" FacebookTwitterPinterestE-mail Watch Wartime Video of the hugeShare the post "WWII P-47 Pilot Remains Found" FacebookTwitterPinterestE-mail Remains of WWII P-47 PilotSome of these images may be subject to copyright, and though we take great care to give credit where credit is due, we're only human. Many Mk V and Mk VI aircraft were converted subsequently to serve as TT.5 or TT.6 high-speed target tugs. Tempest hands down. In the case of the Luftwaffe fighters, I suggest their poor comparison could be that the Anglo pilots favored preserving their rare specimens unlike a soviet test pilot.
