Formerly the RAF's MW848 and delivered to India in 1948, this is one of 11 (or possibly 12) Tempests surviving worldwide. Sister-ship HA622 was last noted as a decoy in 1988. Looking good here but not too sure about that tailwheel! Seven Tempests were eagerly snapped up in the late 70s when auctioned off by India This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
