While working on the transport joint for JP843, it seemed worthwhile to provide some detailed information on an aspect of Typhoon service history that is often discussed, but rarely understood. This new episode covers some of the modifications imparted on the Typhoon airframe, specific details, and information on the solution to the tail failures. We also look directly at the impact of these modifications to JP843, and details on production of the transport joint through a material forming process known as Stretch-Forming.

Harry Hardy
The footage captured during Harry Hardy's visit to Typhoon Legacy was never released due to the poor audio quality. While we've not been able to clarify the audio, you can here what this great man had to say, jokes and all. Harry was an amazing man and his visit will be forever burned in my memory.

S03E01 Flak Damage
Work started off with the need to confirm a few measurements to aid in the ordering of wing spar material for JP843, while disassembling the crash recovered torsion box, I stumbled across some significant pre-crash damage to the main spar that may have cased this Typhoon to crash.
