HISTORY ASPECTS: The Hawker Tempest was a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used during World War II and post-war period. It was designed and built by the Hawker Aircraft company and was primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Tempest MK V variant was an improved version of earlier Tempest models, and was known for its speed, armament, and maneuverability. The Tempest MK V SN330 piloted by No.3 Squadron, RAF, was deployed in the European theater, particularly in Germany in 1946, as part of the British occupation forces after the end of World War II. The aircraft was used primarily in ground attack, reconnaissance, and air-to-air combat roles, and was known for its ability to operate at low altitudes and its powerful armament. The Tempest was considered to be one of the best fighters used by the RAF during the post-war period and was highly valued by its pilots. The Tempest was used extensively in the European theater until it was phased out of service in the early 1950s. It played a significant role in the post-war occupation of Germany and in the early days of the Cold War.
