Now that's a great shot, John! What a historic photo, well worth looking at, I'm glad I caught up with it! Hard to believe it was taken the year I was born!
Thanks for your comments!
Dave.

Wow John, that's great, I simply didn't imagine you would be old enough. Fabulous to be able to share a photo you took nearly 50 years ago. Terrific archive stuff and so good to see your passion for these aircraft and photography has never abated through the years. Much respect. Ian

Yes I took that pic Ian and I also went to the India warbirds site where I found the list of 8, none apparantly air worthy, thanks for that info.

Surely not taken by you John? What's the story, how did you unearth the photo? Very interesting piece of aero and wartime nostalgia.
It seems there are a handful of Tempests still in existence, this site suggests there are 8 in the world.
