Two views of the same prototype after modification to have extra cockpit windows, larger rudder, inner wheel covers attached to the leg fairings, aerial mast and revised finish and markings. The view on the left (also showing the temporary tail-wheel doors) is one of a series taken at Boscombe Down in October 1940; other views in this series previously published elsewhere have been incorrectly identified as the second prototype. Note how the use of orthohromatic film has caused an apparent reversal of colour tones; the finish is the same in both illustrations.

The third Tornado prototype, HG641, was built to test a Bristol Centaurus installation in the Hawker airframe and led eventually to production of the Tempest II. The original installation with 3-blade propeller are illustrated.
