Maybe too easy for the former pilots of these fine birds.........

Maybe slightly different from the UK counterparts, this is a late 50's vintage RCAF D.H. Chipmunk. Sold off in 1973 to first non-military owner, who sold it to the seller in these photos. This is the man who also owns the Mudry Cap 10. He now has a Mig of sorts to put on amphib floats. From what he told me, it's a bit like a Wilga. Anyone got any ideas of what it may be. I didn't really have time to get any info as I was leaving when he started to tell me......

.....on with the shots........



























My apologies if the shots aren't up to par, but I don't keep my SLR on the bike, so all I have to shoot with at a moments notice is my point 'n shoot Casio........better than no shots at all, I guess.......

A real classic bird.

Really nice, but I still like them better with the UK-version canopy!  :P  ;D  ;)

I agree, the bubble doesn't look right...but I'm sure when you're inside looking out its amazing!

New buyer, wiping down his new acquisition............

He'll need a plentiful supply of rag. They don't call it a Dripsy Major for nothing.

It's a very smart aeroplane but that nose cowling looks like it's had a major repair job at some time.

What a beautiful bird

i say they are a joy to fly in!

Either a Technoavia SM92 Finist or a Yak-12 / PZL Gawron.

A lovely little aerobatic fun-mobile 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Aha! I knew it... mostly because I looked up the reg. (clearly visible in that first post... ever notice how many planes have the reg. # placarded where the pilot can see it easily, in case they forget as they key the mic?)



So... when are you going for a ride?  ;D

Chance of that happening.........?  :'(

That's right, I forgot...  :(

But Chippies are pretty common up there; you'll get in one eventually.
