These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a Hawker Tempest Mk II, serial PR536, displayed in the markings of No. 5 Squadron RAF as OQ-H. The Tempest was the ultimate development of the Hawker Typhoon and one of the fastest and most powerful piston-engined fighters of the war, excelling at low altitude where it outpaced almost everything else in the sky. The Mk II differed from the Mk V in being powered by the Bristol Centaurus radial engine rather than the Napier Sabre, giving it a distinctive silhouette. It entered service too late for the war in Europe but equipped several RAF squadrons in India, and some examples later saw combat with the Indian Air Force during the Kashmir campaign of 1947-48. Built at Hawker's Langley factory in 1945, PR536 served with No. 5 Squadron at Peshawar and Poona in India — the unit that served as the Tempest conversion training squadron for the newly formed Indian Air Force — before being transferred to India as HA457 in September 1947. After years stored as an airfield decoy, it was sold to British warbird collector Doug Arnold in 1979 and eventually acquired by the RAF Museum. Restored at Duxford by The Fighter Collection using components from several aircraft, it went on display at Hendon in November 1991.
