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 Once the Tempest II was withdrawn from RAF service, India was able to procure 20 more aircraft from RAF MUs which were delivered in two batches from 09 Jul 1951 (12) and 29 Aug 1951 (08) PR 834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.
