Having seen the wonderful photo in this thread, my flying days (alas not military aircrew for long!) were recalled and I had to fish out (no pun intended!) my log book. Chipmunk WP795, on 21 Nov 78, was my first taste of RN flying training, followed by WK608, but WP795 seemed to be the most popular as it appears several times. I was fortunate to "go solo" in WB671 on 4 Dec 78 and the others I was fortunate enough to fly were WP856, WP801 and WD374. Happy days, even though it was bloomin' cold then. The next entry was Bulldog XX516 but that's another story. Nice to see the Chippy is still around. I would love one but its good to see them flying anyway!
