1 AEF Chipmunk Pictures

Hi All ...

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread so far, along with the PM's and other information provided ... all very much appreciated.

Here is a picture of our WB627 in the Grey & Dayglow livery of the late 60's. Permission to upload this image has been kindly granted by the son of the pilot (Alpha 33 - F/L Bill Downing ... now sadly deceased) upfront.



The following picture shows a Let Down over Pegwell Bay, following an aerobatics session, for a rejoin over Richborough Power Station Cooling Towers.

Aerobatics at RAF Manston were either performed "overhead above three" (overhead the airfield to the north of the main runway) or at "Pegwell above three".

Again permission to upload this image has been kindly granted by the son of Alpha 33. At a guess this picture is mid to late 70's as Hoverlloyd packed up operations at Pegwell Bay at the turn of the 80's.



Kind regards...

Coff.
