Hawker Tempest DVD

[tempestwulf]

Hey peeps

I recently purchased a DVD called "Tempest at War" on Trademe. This has real good close-ups of Hawker Tempest V SA-Z (JN738). I think it'll be really good reference but it's a great watch nontheless, I also have "Typhoon at war" so check both out as it's about some excellent aircraft. Especially for 486 Sqn birds.

Sounds great.

You may already have this considering your user name but if not pick up a copy of Paul Sortehaug's "The Wild Winds" not a DVD but the history of 486, lots and lots of great pics and a great read. Expensive but worth it.

I was told recently that 'The Wild Winds' is full of errors and really peed off some of the pilots!

The DVD is great though, as is the Typhoon at War DVD equivalent (thanks again for them Craig!)

No doubt there's a few errors, writing the complete 3 year history of a squadron 60 odd years after the events have taken place isn't going to be easy.

It's the best we have on the subject at the mo, and it is chock full of photos.

Agreed.
