There were a couple of Tempest variants planned to use the Griffon - teh Mk II and MkIV. Not sure if they flew.

The fastest Typhoon/Tempest/Fury/Sea Fury variant was the Tempest I with the Sabre IV and leading edge radiators.

It was the Mk.III & Mk.IV that were to be Griffon powered and the fastest Hawker piston engined fighter was the Fury (serial LA610) powered by the Sabre VII. The Tempest Mk.IV was also serialed LA610 and was transfered to the Fury program. LA610 in it's Fury guise first flew with a Griffon engine installed.

Sorry about the III - just a typo.

And I forgot about that Fury.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
