Typhoon
Let an agent handle the Hawker Typhoon as a historical aircraft type by variants, service history, survivors and museums, and separate it from other aircraft and weather senses of typhoon.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle the Hawker Typhoon as a historical aircraft type by variants, service history, survivors and museums, and separate it from other aircraft and weather senses of typhoon.
The Hawker Typhoon, a British single-seat, single-engine fighter-bomber of the Second World War, used mainly for ground attack with rockets and bombs; about 3300 were built.
What it is for: A historical military aircraft, now a subject of history and museums.
It can be study its history; see surviving examples in museums; research service records; build scale models.
