Did the Hawker Typhoon carry more internal fuel than the later Hawker Tempest?
I think the Tempest had an additional 72 gallon fuselage tank, similar to the Spitfire.
Thanks in advance.
 
Take a look for yourself, these are from the pilots manuals

First one on the tempest V, second one on the typoon.

Hi Guys,

Been a long time since I posted. Here are some pages from the manuals I have from the Typhoon and Tempest:


  1. Typhoon 1A/1B in 1941 from AP1804A Vol 1
    Typhoon 1A/1B in 1943 from AP1804A-PN
    Tempest V in 1944 from AP2458C-PN
    Tempest II in 1945 from AP2458B-PPN

I hope these are of assistance.
