Hi,
I am very new to this site so please be gentle 🙂 I am the new ‘keeper’ of Chipmunk WK638. I plan on bringing her back to life as a complete ‘static’ airframe using as many original parts as possible. The project started with me acquiring the cockpit section. Then with the help of Facebook and a few kind people (are we aloud to mention names?) I was able to locate her original rear fuselage from Southampton. Ebay and Facebook have been great for finding bits and bobs (not original to WK638) and for introducing me to some great people, but I havn’t been able to find any other original parts. I have quite a few pictures of her in her younger days, but wondered if any of you ladies and gentleman had any more? Or know of any original parts that may be for sale? Here are some pictures of her now. I have not done any real work to her as yet as I am still trying to collect parts.

Hi
I am the previous owner and pilot who had the unfortunate incident.
I have available a cylinder and cartridge starter from when the aircraft was purchased from the RAF.

I see the tail section is on Ebay? Does this mean the plans to make it complete again are gone?
Change of plan i believe
