Chipmunk T.10 accident, 20th May 1968.

Thanks for the information

Hi RMR

Thanks for the information, it all helps. For your records she is still hidden away in darkest Leicester, and we will be bringing her along to Cockpitfest in a few days time (which is where the photo was taken about three years ago).

Thanks again,
Ritch.
