Re: Ducted spinner Tempest NV768

In my copy of Hawker (An Aircraft Album #5, Arco Publishing 1973), on pg. 91 shows a photograph of the front end of a Tempest with the ducted spinner and a caption stating in was NV768 having a ducted spinner added to an annular radiator. On pg. 93 is NV768 in flight without the ducted spinner but you can see the exhausts stacks of an in-line engine and the circular cowling. The caption states that this is a Tempest V with an experimental annular radiator (during 1946).
