I was fortunate enough to have 4 super years in ULAS flying the Chippie at the beginning of the 1970s!

It should have been only 3, but the lure of flying was so strong that I had to repeat my 2nd year at QMC!

I did a friend's renewal LST in the back of his Chippie a year or so ago - the fee was reduced by £5 per aerobatic manoeuvre that he let me fly. I think we settled on a fiver.

What a super little aeroplane. Just needed about 180-200 bhp and a C/S prop and it would have been perfect.
