THE HAWKER TYPHOON

 

The Hawker Typhoon

Single-seat fighter-bomber

Known affectionately as the Tiffy

Began life as a medium

And high-altitude interceptor

But with its Typhoon speed

It found its niche as

A low-altitude interceptor

But when ground attack rockets

Were added to its armoury.

The Typhoon earned a reputation

As the RAF’s

Most successful ground-attack aircraft.
