Yes, I know it's not an RAF aircraft ...

... but it's still a Chipmunk.



This lovely picture is of CF-EGO (18028), a DHC-1B-2-S5, the last military Canadian Chipmunk type. I flew a few hours in a sister ship, CF-BXI (18058), at the Calgary Flying Club in the 70s. My instructor had about three hours on type - I had 170 hours on the T10, so I think he learned more from me, than the other way round!

This is how a Canadian Chipmunk should look. I know the old saying about if you own an aeroplane, you can paint it any colour you like, but Shuttleworth's T10 in Canadian colours looks just wrong to me.
