[Danny_Fenton]

Thanks for your information. I was at the Chipmunk 69th anniversary gathering at Old warden and saw this Chipmunk, is it the one you are referring to perhaps?


Cheers

Hi. I'm the person who created the Gathering of Chipmunks at Old Warden this year for the 69th Anniversary.

I'm working on two projects for next year's 70th; one at Old Warden in May and the at RIAT in July.

I was just Googling around to see if the the aircraft from the 1979 RAF Chipmunk training video "Air Experience Flying" still existed and discovered this. Remember Jump Jump John? I'm aiming to have it playing so that all those old AEF students can get to relive it once more.

''When WK550 arrived in this country the red was rather more orange yet darker than the red on either WK507 or WG478''

Red is a difficult color to discuss as it fades horrible!
I'm not quite sure about WZ 877's pic's from 2nd august shows the now freshly painted Chipmunk!? In the case: Where was the RAL-code found?

Instrument Panel Paint Colour

Hi! Apologies for invading a thread on Chippie paint schemes, but I own a 1973 ex-RAF Bulldog in the same classic Training Command Red/White/Grey. At the moment, I am trying to match the original light green paint colour found on the instrument panel. Any thoughts regarding the correct paint code would be much appreciated.


Regards all,
