Do you mean polished like this one????
Do you mean polished like this one????
As far as I can find out they were built from scratch, under licence of course.
The Portuguese Chippies were built by OGMA, I believe.
The first 10 were built at Chester, the other 66 by OGMA.:D
Trying to fill in the holes myself have everything except a picture of the Spanish evaluated aircraft (was it in spanish markings?).
I have never seen or read anything about Spain evaluating the Chipmunk, so it may have been just a DH demonstrator. The only Chipmunk I know of registerd in Spain is EC-BOI which was registered in 1968 and is still current.

Another “big” aircraft with four engines.
Pima Museum Az. September 2006.
I have just passed this on to a couple of people at work who live in the area and they both think anything would be better than several hundered houses on the site.
The local roads can’t cope at the moment.
