Tempest Typhoon with a door

Alas not in the game, but nice for having a smokie during a mission walking on the flight-deck:

What the %*#@ is a 'Tempest Typhoon '?

Tempest in the game, Typhoon is the 'official' earlier name when launched by Hawker.

The later aircraft was renamed the Tempest before a single prototype was built. Nobody ever referred to it as a 'Tempest Typhoon' in service. And in any case, the photo is a Typhoon. Not any sort of Tempest.

As Andy points out, The Tiffy is an aircraft in its own right and an aircraft that the Tempest evolved from (originally slated as the Typhoon II  but never produced with such a name). Typhoons  are coming to BON, though perhaps not as the early type shown above but the later,  modified 1b with the full sliding bubble canopy (??)

I think its an English equivalent of the P/A-5(36)1 A-B/C Mustang-Apachie-Mustang..

When I was younger I assumed that the Tempest was just the fighter version of the Tiffy so you are not alone
