Anyone else watch the new series of Warplane Workshop last night?

What a fantastically brutal machine the Tempest is.
Some interesting stuff in the background like the Thunderbolt and a couple of 109s, one that looked like it was twin cockpit.

Wonder who is funding the Tempest restoration….wouldn't mind betting that runs into at least £2m….new propellor £250k…..

Gulp.

Admittedly it’s now over 20 years ago, but my pal’s Spitfire cost him £670,000 starting with only a rivet.
