How this Harrier was able to take off I do not know!

I managed to find a few pics of well hung Warthogs.

…and what was this Tomcat pilot doing?!

Despite the fact I’ve lived within 5 miles of A&AEE (and whatever else it became) Boscombe Down for the last 16 years can someone explain why I have yet to see any newer RAF ‘planes overhead? :confused:

I was always of the understanding that until quite recently Boscombe Down was where the new RAF aircraft were tested and evaluated.

More Chippy photos!

Looking through the net again I found these photos mainly on http://www.futurshox.net

Moggy, I think you’ll like G-AOZP! 😉

More Chippy pics….

I found these pictures whilst looking on the net.

Some of these are from the site http://www.fandh-aircraft.co.uk

I had a look on web (using Google) to see what I could find out about the fate of WK620 and WK624.

WK624 has been reregistered as G-BWHI and is flying out of Woodvale.

WK620 on the other hand didn’t show any results and so I presume was destroyed/stripped for spares when retired from RAF service.

I’ll have another look and see if I can find any photos of either aircraft for you….

:rolleyes:

A few more Chippie photos I’ve found….

Whilst looking, unsuccessfully, for grey/green camoflaged Chipmunks I came across dozens of other pictures.

Enjoy….

My first

On the 22nd June 1991 I was introduced to my first Chippie, WP840 and have never looked back!

I was 13 years old and the 15 minutes we spent together circling Hurn airport, Bournemouth will live with me forever. We met again 3 months later sharing our last flight together almost exactly 12 months after our first.

I never realised that my memories of this first flight would live with me as long as they have and I was delighted to find that she is still flying today.

LONG LIVE THE CHIPMUNK!
