Can anyone add any information about the nine (or ten) DHC-1 Chipmunks supplied to Burma? All I have is the information listed below. Delivery dates, operational information, accidents, etc. Also, any updates about UB174 and UB175, which were sold to the USA in March 1995 would be very much appreciated.

Here is a shot I took back in 1996 in Yangon/Rangoon.
..and two shots from Mingaladon that were part of the general Spitfre/Seafire sale a couple of years later. These Chipmunks went to the US.
