I42:

you can paint it any colour you like, but Shuttleworth's T10 in Canadian colours looks just wrong to me.
I could not agree more!

I could fill this entire page listing the differences between the DHC-1B-2-S5 and the T.10, so what on earth were the Shuttleworth people thinking?

A great shame the RAF didn't opt for the 'Bubble' canopy IMHO
Such an elegant solution to the initial criticisms of the DHC-1A's lack of headroom; why not indeed? Although the Canadian "bubble" will not fiit a UK-built Chipmunk it was so obviously the way to go...
