India 42:
Great photos, I've never seen the second one.
A nice photo, but I have to say, I prefer this one:
I'm not sure I agree here. But notice the spinner marked in the university colours and the canopy frame. While most Chipmunks in the overall LAG scheme had grey framing, a significant number had the frames in white.
SOMEWHERE here I've got a photo of University of Wales Chipmunks with similar decoration to WD353, only this time the stripe is green/white with the Welsh flag at the forward end.
I wonder if these flamboyant UAS markings caused sometime in authority to take fright? The "standardized" UAS marking - a shield with a device unique to that university, flanked by bars in the university colours carried below the rear cockpit - appeared shortly after these photos were taken.
The significance of the WK507 photo is that this is only one of two Chipmunks ever photographed in the Red/White/Light Grey scheme and sporting UAS markings.
I'll post later about Chipmunk W & B - but I don't think either the strakes or the enlarged rudder weighed very much...
