Dan,
Thanks for the feedback on spin entries. Since my post, I've found a very interesting zip file, containing:
1. DH Canada Chipmunk DHC-1 Operation and Maintenance Manual (probably the first edition - one amendment dated 11/9/50?)
2. A.P. 4308A-P.N. Pilot's Notes for Chipmunk T10 February 1950
3. AP101B-5510-15 (AP.4308A-PN) Pilot's Notes Chipmunk T Mk. 10 Third Edition June 1966
4. EO 05-10B-1 RCAF Aircraft Operating Instructions Chipmunk 15 April 1958
5. EO 05-10B-1 Canadian Forces Aircraft Operating Instructions Chipmunk Revised 7 July 1967
6. DH Canada Chipmunk DHC-1B-2 Flight Manual 1 Aug 1957
7. DH Aircraft Pilots' Manual for the De Havilland Chipmunk Aircraft October 1969
8. Wiltshire School of Flying Pilot's Notes Chipmunk 10 Undated
9. Chipmunk Checklist in "flip card" format. Undated, from a Liverpool-based aircraft. Is this yours SSD?
Just to whet your appetites, here are a couple of plates from item 1:
The file can be downloaded from
de Havilland Chipmunk Flight Manual - Documents - Avsim R Us. The download process is a bit obscure. Click "Download" at the bottom right and then on the next, nearly identical page, click on the link in the green box labelled "HTTP (EU)". You might want to check the file for viruses before unzipping. I had no problems, but I'm using a Mac
