Re: Hawker Typhoon original id?
This is what Christopher Shores/Chris Thomas says in "The Typhoon and Tempest Story""
"The Typhoon EJ956, SA-F, was repaired by the Germans and test flown at Rechlin,later serving with Versuchsverband/Obdl...The unit also used JP548 which had force landed on the Cherbourg peninsula on February 14,1944 and a third,as yet unidentified Typhoon. EJ956 was written off for the second and last time when it turned over in a force landing near Meckelnfeld on 10 August 1944,the pilot was unhurt.JP548 crashed at Reinsehlen on 29 July 1944 killing the pilot,Fw. Gold. A captured Tempest was tested at Rechlin. "
