Thank you. That rules out my photo collection as a likely source as I was in the wrong part of the UK in the 60s. So we are looking for someone who took lots of photos of Chipmunks at Teversham (Cambridge) and/or Abingdon (Oxford) throughout the ’60s and into the early ’70s so covering operation by 5 AEF, 6 AEF, London UAS and Cambridge UAS (although I would welcome confirmation that these were the bases of those units during the 60s). Both London and Cambridge UASs wore an attractive badge so if photographic evidence can be found I’m sure that the Australian restorers would be delighted, although reproducing the day-glo colour could present problems. The AEF aircraft often did not have a badge applied, although at times 6 AEF did.
