Single engine ground attack aircraft

​

A single Hawker Typhoon was used after WWII as instructional airframe at the Technical School of Saffraanberg and later on at Tongeren. In June 1952 after the reconstruction of the School at Saffraanberg this very rare aircraft and a Hawker Hurricane were offered as museum exhibit at the Royal Army Museum at Brussels. Unbelievably only the Hurricane was accepted by the museum authorities. This is more than a missed opportunity as only one complete Hawker Typhoon remains in the world today.
