Beautiful pics! Nice to see DH.104 G-ALFT, which reminds me of her sistership G-ALFU, which is now dangling from the ceiling in Duxford. When I was at the College of Air Traffic Control (for my Approach Radar Training) in Hurn in 1970, I had several hours flying in the righthand seat of this aircraft. Ah, great memories…..:)

While I’m sure that some of these images will have “propliner” fans drooling over their keyboards ~ I love the timeless quality of seeing a Chipmunk basking on the grass on a sunny day.

Well done to Tony for scanning these and David for posting them.

More please 🙂
