Hawker Tornado
The Tornado was a parallel design to the Typhoon, with a different engine installation. This troublesome R.R. Vulture engine also caused its abandonment in beginning of 1941. One was converted to test the Bristol Centaurus radial. Four built: two prototypes, one production aircraft, and one prototype with the Centaurus engine.
