I’m hoping that someone out there can help me.
Several of us are looking to replace our Chipmunk front windscreens and availability is a bit of a problem. We’ve been told that this company:

makes a windscreen that is suitable for Canadian Chipmunks, my/our question is are they compatible with the RAF T10? The Canadian Pt No is 03000ND whereas the T10 Pt No is C1-FC3A or C1-FC805A/ND, the company have been very helpful but are unable to verify if the 2 are interchangeable. None of our cockpits are airworthy if that helps.
Thanks in advance

This is John from Lakes Aero Products… I noticed this thread some time ago, and this is the first time I have been able to reply… Without making this into a sales pitch, I wanted to point out some differences between the windshields…
The windshields or windscreens are very similar but should not be considered interchangeable. The Most obvious difference visually is the bottom of the windshield where it meets the canopy. If you look at a CN chippie you will notice that the bottom of the windshield is more flat or horizontal looking, whereas the UK version comes more to a point. The CN chipmunk windshield is also narrower at the top and is more rounded, whereas the UK chipmunk windshield is more of an elliptical shape at the top and has almost a flat section, ultimately the UK version is probably about 2″ wider at the top of the windshield. The UK and is also a few inches longer at the bottom, even though it does not appear so in the pics below…

I hope this helps…
p.s. they are both now available.
