Hey, these schemes look familiar… Oh yes, they’re the new “RB396” edition Hawker Typhoon MkIb!
A great thread - the VC that never was, and should have been. These stories are what our rebuild is all about, preserving them and ensuring they are told. All that’s stopping RB396 taking flight is funding. @LordAshcroft @TyphoonDisplay @pilot396 @James1940 @almurray

We are also pleased to be able to support some members of the RAF’s Typhoon Display Team. @RAFTyphoonTeam If you wish to see more about our chosen charity effort, please do visit the restoration team’s website: hawkertyphoon.com @project_typhoon 2/3
Good to see a Typhoon in the jig and not a Spit for a change! Something like this is needed on the UK airshow circuit as a real memorial to the brave @project_typhoon
In case you missed it - rebuild work on the rear fuselage of Hawker Typhoon RB396 has recommenced. Tentative target for completion of D-Day 80 this year….
Recently we turned 7. This video has been produced to demonstrate just what we’re trying to do, and how we need your support to make it happen: youtu.be/47-sKojq8NU
What could be a better way to celebrate 600 flipping episodes of the @WeHaveWaysPod than a discussion on that beautiful beast, the Hawker Typhoon?? Love this aircraft & praying Sam Worthington-Lees and the gang at @project_typhoon get theirs back into the sky! @almurray

Wishing Bernard Gardiner a very happy 101st birthday for today. It was an honour to have him as guest of honour at the weekend, and to facilitate him going up in the Hurricane! @James1940 @almurray @thehistoryguy @pilot396 @MikeLingPilot @HiUlt @Flyer_Magazine
Lovely to have been able to arrange this for Bernard. Very thankful to @HurricaneR4118 for helping us make it a reality!

@RJowen56 @project_typhoon @James1940 @almurray @thehistoryguy @HurricaneR4118 @HiUlt @penandpaper1989 @pilot396 @ACDuxford Read the tweet again. They are referring to a 100 year old Hurricane and Typhoon Veteran (Pilot) not the aircraft. 😎
