A friend of mine (Mark Bolsover) owns DH Chipmunk WP981. I shot a bit of video on it a couple of days ago. Mark is currently working in Canada doing design on a new Lear jet (lightning protection systems in a composite aircraft).
I thought I would knock up a quick short video and stick it on youTube so he can look at what he has waiting for him when he gets back. I thought I would add a bit of history about the aeroplane more for others than Mark

Well you may be interested in the short video I am making about it, only about 1 1/2 minutes long, just waiting on a bit more history and I will put it up on youTube in HD. I thought a few people in the UK would like to see it now. The video is nothing special, just the current owner washing the old girl in the front of his air chalet at Watts Bridge Airfield.
Still something to get the memory going back. First solo is very significant to a pilot, I would love to see a video of the Cessna C152 that mine in back in 1976
thanks for the reply
cheers

It was on the University of London Air Squadron Late 60’s early 70’s. ( I did my first solo on type in it Dec 70)
