EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Napier experimental team in front of the Hawker Tempest V, NV768, in July 1946. The team, assembled in front of the iconic aircraft, was responsible for the development and testing of innovative technologies, most notably the annular radiator fitted to this particular Tempest. Standing from left to right are F.S. Lester, Flight Test Engineer; R.C. Marcell, Chief Draughtsman; K.H. Greenly, Project Engineer; and S.A. Clark, Chief Inspector. Seated are Mike Randrup, Chief Test Pilot; F.L. Parris, Works Manager; C.L. Cowdrey, Chief Installation Engineer; C.F. Vickers, Chief Designer; and J.B. Waite, Liaison Engineer. The Napier experimental team's groundbreaking work on the Hawker Tempest V, NV768, was instrumental in pushing the boundaries of aviation technology during the post-World War II era. The annular radiator, a significant improvement over traditional radiator designs, allowed for increased engine cooling and improved overall aircraft performance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the dedicated and innovative group of individuals who played a crucial role in shaping the future of aviation technology. Their collective efforts, captured in this moment, paved the way for advancements that would continue to revolutionize the aviation industry.
