Napier Sabre H24 - the engine that succeeded where the Rolls-Royce Vulture X24 did not. The output of Carbon Monoxide from the Sabre’s 24 cylinders was considerable, and the design of the Typhoon eventually necessitated that aircrew use oxygen at all times, even during ground ops. Sadly lives were lost before the CO issue was fully understood, but the Sabre was nonetheless a vital engine in UK aircraft development.

This is CGI - The RAF Hawker Typhoons of 266 (Rhodesia ) squadron head out of RAF Needs Oar Point New Forest across the Solent on Ops armed with 8 x RP-3 rockets each ,wheels retracting and flying low past an RAF HSL (High Speed Launch) Whaleback. We will create multiple animations charting their progress as they reach land find their targets. All animations will be compiled at the end into a hopefully concise full Hawker Typhoon operational story ! Also SOUND UP this is the authentic Napier Sab
