In Greek mythology Aeolus, keeper of storm-winds, squalls and tempests. Depending on a witch's preference, they were believed to cause tempests, hailstorms, and lightning. II./JG 6 suffered severely from Spitfire and Tempests based at Helmond. The "wild breakwaters" are bothersome foreign influences, and "inner tempests" apply to conflicts within Schleswig. Unlike other 1964 Tempests, the GTO was available as a pillarless hardtop coupe. It was allegedly used as a talisman against tempests. The Tempests were to escort bombers of Tiger Force over Japan. Today, the 215 cars are among the most sought-after of all Tempests. A shortage of Tempests meant that this conversion didn't happen. Gilgit airfield was bombed by Tempests on 4 November 1948. The unit now operated one flight with three Vampires and the second flight with Tempests.
