---------------------------------------------

The Hawker Tempest is a British fighter aircraft that was primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the later stages of the Second World War.

The first aircraft in India went to 5 and 30 squadrons RAF at Bhopal in Mar 1946 followed by 20 Squadron RAF at Agra and 152 Squadron RAF at Risalpur. All Tempests operated by the RAF in India were ‘officially’ handed over to the RIAF on 25 Sep 1947 and received serials in the ‘HA—“series by early 1948. The RIAF received a further 89 Tempests refurbished by Hawker from RAF stocks of 113 held at 20 MU in May 1948. Once the Tempest II was withdrawn from RAF service, India was able to procure 20 more aircraft from RAF MUs which were delivered in two batches from 09 Jul 1951 (12) and 29 Aug 1951 (08) PR 834 becoming the last of 233 Tempest IIs delivered to India of a total 452 produced.

The Making

Each Glass Collection concept starts with procuring detailed blueprints of the design and then designing the cuts on Adobe Illustrator. These drawings are then passed on to the laser which then cuts fine lines on the glass. These are then hand engraved again to a shimmering finish with brilliant clarity.

The video shown here is of the hand engraving process which follows the laser cut.

I don’t quite know how to thank you, Retriever Glasses. The Tempest is stunningly accurate and beautifully crafted. The weight and feel of the heavy-bottomed glass are just perfect for an evening with friends—whether it’s a shot of Single Malt or a well-made cocktail.
It brought back a wave of nostalgia from a time just before I was born, when my father, then a Flying Officer, carried out countless raids over Pakistan—bombing, rocketing, and strafing hideouts and installations in Skardu, Pandu, Tithwal, Mirpur, Nausadda, Zojila, and many other places (all this gleaned from his Log Books).
I’ll certainly be back for more—and then some. You’ve truly made my day.

For me, it's a part of my husband's career...how cool is that! And cooler still when you have whiskey with ice in the glass! I bought this glass for my hubby, who was one of the pioneer members of this helicopter squadron, the first dedicated gunship Mi-25 in the IAF.
The quality of the glass is excellent, and the etching, too is awesome.

I was among the very first customers to order this set, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. I got these glasses as a gift for my Air Force–crazy friend, and she absolutely LOVED them! The quality is outstanding — the glasses have a solid, premium feel and the weight is just right, which makes them perfect to hold. What really stood out to me was the precision and detail of the engraving. The craftsmanship is so clean and sharp that it adds a really elegant touch. It’s rare to find something that combines both utility and such meaningful design so well. These glasses made for a truly special gift, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something unique and beautifully made.
