Hi all
Does anyone have any record of flying or flying in this aircraft? Possibly as an ATC Cadet, or at a U.A.S.?
Also, anyone have any photos of her at any time in her history? (No, not yours Dave!).
Finally, we will be after Chipmunk parts for a static rebuild, so, does anyone have any Chipmunk part they don’t need? Anything considered!

Chipmunk wants list.
Ok guys
We finaly found the time to have a propper look at our new baby today, and have a short wants list to add to the thread, so here goes..
All for static use only.
1) Windscreen.
2) Rear cockpit, Mag mounting bracket and switch.
3) Rear cockpit, headset socket securing bracket (a sort of spring clip type thing!).
4) Rear cockpit, lower panel mounts, (just the bottom part that the panel attaches to).
5) Front cockpit VHF radio switch and mounting bracket, (bellow and to the right of the main panel).
6) Starter button / switch.
7) Harness shoulder straps type “ZC” 6F/252.
8) Windscreen suround metalwork (capping strips).
9) Two springs for the flip down card holders on top of the coamings.
Not a masive list, but any help or leads would be most appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ritch Blood.

another chippy bit
Spotted this yet chaps? Nothing too exciting but maybe just that part you’re after…

ta!
It’s not an engine start panel – its the voltage regulator which is hidden away on the inside of the engine bulkhead.
Title of my post amended accordingly! 😀

Thanks David
We are about to start surveying the airframe parts we have, which is basically the fuselage from the engine bay firewall to the battery bay area.
It would be nice to add cowlings at some point, we need a windscreen, and some harness parts are missing, as are the compasses. Maybe in the future a complete tail area and even wings might be added if we can get them on our limited budget.
I will be able to build a better wants list later in the week. But for the moment, we are just letting people know that we have the Chipmunk so that if they have anything, they might think of us!!!

I have a fair amount of parts – post a list of what you want!

Parts wise it might be worthwhile checking at Newark, as their Chipmunk project is progressing well ….

However the last time I was over there they seemed to be fabricating their own fairings etc.
