Back in the 1980s there was a dh(c) chipmunk based at the airport which living near by i used to see quite reguarly.It had an accident in the mid 80s but i dont know what happened to it after that.It was in the standard trainer scheme of red/white with grey wings if any body remembers it.Ive always wondered what happened to it,any body know?

The red/white and grey scheme is just how i remember her.I had just one flight in her with the late derick brooks in 1983 around our local area.Happy times and glad shes still flying although along way from where she used to be based.Many thanks chaps Alan

Via bravo24’s identification as G-BDBP, google says it’s now in South Africa as ZS-COX

Chippy Tollerton
I flew my first dragger solo on this a/c on 11.8.88, G-BDBP 12.45/ 13.35. I have a photo as i taxied in canopy back two notches grin from ear to ear. I then went on to fly the tugs at H-B and another 1200hrs on Chippys to date.
I do not know what happened to this a/c but the group/club was run by some guy called Bill????? who would often fly it to the north of the field and perform poor aeros.
Happy landings Bill!!!!!
