Hawker Tempest Tempest Mk.II MW763/G-TEMT was airborne this morning over Duxford. Very distracting as I was sat in my portakabin trying to work!!!
Later after a bit of a rub down she was towed back into H2...

Richard Grace 1984-2024
I read the sad news about the death of Richard Grace yesterday. A fine pilot and knowledgeable engineer, I had only recently viewed video of him visiting Kermit Weeks in Florida to discuss the Tempest V and returning it to flight.
Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
