Framed Print of Hawker Typhoon fighters are now being built in impressive numbers at one of the Gloster
Hawker Typhoon fighters are now being built in impressive numbers at one of the Gloster Aircraft Company factories in the West of England.
Picture shows the assembly of the Hawker Typhoon plane before the engine is fitted. Male and female engineers work on the plane.
The Gloster Aircraft Company was a British aircraft manufacturer from 1917 to 1963.
Founded as the Gloucestershire Aircraft Company Limited during the First World War, with the aircraft construction activities of H H Martyn and Co Ltd of Cheltenham, England it produced fighters during the war. It was renamed later as foreigners found Gloucestershire difficult to pronounce. It later became part of the Hawker Siddeley group and the Gloster name disappeared in 1963.
Gloster designed and built several fighters that equipped the British Royal Air Force (RAF) during the interwar years including the Gladiator, the RAFs last biplane fighter. The company built most of the wartime production of Hawker Hurricanes and Hawker Typhoons.
Hawker Typhoons were introduced in mid 1941 and regularly used from 1942.
The story of the plane pictured. The R8970. On 1944-08-17, Pilot R Gibson (Flight Sergeant, RAF) with an unknown service number, flew a Typhoon Ib with serial R8970 P for this duty: unknown operation. His mission was not completed. Circumstances of the aircraft loss: Crashed near Le Neubourn. This aircraft was a part of squadron no. 183. The location for the map is Le Neubourn, France. Circumstances at the end of this mission for Gibson: he evaded. There is no commemoration location known.
