Many thanks for the link. A well presented documentary bringing together most of the best known footage of the Typhoon. Brave men indeed, I can't help thinking if the Air Ministry had got over its antipathy towards radial engines earlier we would have seen a Centaurus powered Typhoon in 1944 with all its attendant advantages.

Thanks for linking this here T1B/HZG

I have watched it a few times before , and liked it so much I applied to the website at the end to get the rest of the doc, but sadly they never responded. Have you had any luck with this?
Anyone who has not watched this should.

What a brilliant film ....
Shame about the missing Part 2.
Those Typhoon pilots and ground crews were amazing.

Yes, imagine changing 48 spark plugs in 10 below zero conditions.
