Hawker Typhoon Mk. IB

Aircraft & Exhibits, FEB 1944-JAN 1949, London, Hangar Three/Four, 74/A/27

Designed as a replacement for the Hurricane and Spitfire, the Typhoon was the first RAF fighter capable of exceeding 400mph when it entered service in 1941. This speed allowed Typhoons to successfully combat the newer, more capable aircraft coming into German service at the same time, such as the Fw-190, easily matching them at low levels.

The Typhoon has grey/green camouflage on its upper surfaces, and a grey underside. It carries black and white invasion stripes, which were introduced to aircraft just prior to D-Day., Trustees of the RAF Museum/Iain Duncan / RAF Museum/ Iain Duncan
