Two DHC Chipmunks are under new ownership in Belgium

Both of the classic DHC light aircraft had previously served in Denmark.

Chipmunk Mk.22 C1/0104 joined the Belgian register as OO-CII on January 3. The former Royal Danish Air Force machine served from 1950 until 1976 when it was sold to Sweden acquiring the civil registration SE-GRK. It changed hands several times until bought by a trio of pilots in Belgium. It was ferried to Antwerp, its current base, in August 2023 and has been repainted to depict a Belgian Air Force example with the serial ‘C-2’.

A second former Royal Danish Air Force example, C1/0702, is currently flying in Belgium as F-AZCH though there are plans to re-register it as OO-VNL. It was restored to fly in France and currently represents WB557, in Royal Air Force colours. With thanks to Laurent Heyligen
