EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the last Hawker Typhoon IB, registration number WJ651, during a test flight with renowned test pilot, Eric Moss, in the cockpit. The Hawker Typhoon IB was a British twin-engine fighter aircraft, primarily used during the Second World War for ground-attack and interception missions. Known for its powerful armament and agility, the Typhoon was a formidable force in the skies. As the war drew to a close, the need for new military aircraft decreased, and the Typhoon was retired from service. However, the legacy of this iconic plane lived on through test flights and preservation efforts. In this image, we see the last surviving Typhoon IB undergoing rigorous testing, ensuring that its unique characteristics and capabilities were fully understood. Eric Moss, a highly experienced test pilot, is at the controls, his concentration evident as he navigates the aircraft through the air. The Typhoon's distinctive shape, with its large radial engines and distinctive propellers, can be seen in all its glory. The image captures the raw power and grace of this legendary aircraft, as it continues to make history in its final days of flight testing. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich aviation history of the past, and the dedication of the individuals who worked to preserve the legacy of the Hawker Typhoon IB. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with flight and the machines that make it possible.
