Tempests were tested, cleared and rated to carry eight 60lb rockets on zero length rails.. They carried out many airfield suppression and straffing missions towards the end of the war, pity they never used them.. I've several pictures of Tempest V's with rockets plus some good video footage during trails in WWII... I guess the Typhoons were still doing a successful job in that role though!
