Hawker Tornado History:
The Tornado prototype was judged to be a success, and both it and the Sabre powered Typhoon were selected for production. However, only five Tornados were actually built – four prototypes and one production aircraft. Development work had slowed down during the Battle of Britain, when every project that might delay production of current aircraft types was curtailed. The sole production aircraft did not take to the air until August 1941. By that point the Vulture program had clearly failed, and so production of the Tornado was cancelled in favour of the Napier powered Typhoon.
