Chipmunk Owner and Ex Cargo Lion Engineer/Pilot
HI
I think I must have missed you with Cargo Lion as I flew with them from around 1992 to 1994 after flying the DC-8s with African Safari for the previous 5 years.
Any way I have owned my Chipmunk (WG491) for the last 37 years after bringing it into the USA in the early 1970s. I rebuilt the aripalne in total and won "Best Military Classic" at Oshgosh Fly in 1977. I still enjoy flyin the airplane after 2000+hrs in the same machine. Some where I have in my collection of over 200 books and manuals on the Chippie I have a RAF Flight Instructors Manual issued by nthe RAF in the 1960s/70s which was given to me by an ex RAF fighter pilot who trained on the Chippie and went on to fly the Hawker Hunter and British Electric fighters.
I lived in Osrtende Belgium for 13 years while flying Dc8s all over XXXX and creation and finally decided to return to the USA in 1995 to play again with my toys and Chipmunk. I may have met you somewhere along the way??
All the best to who ever you are??
