On the other thread I wrote a humorous comparison with women in our lives but JetBlu seemed to take offence so I deleted it (maybe He didn't ))

Some aircraft that stand out in my mind were quite simple like the Grumman Tiger and in twins the Baron 55
Others leave you cold. You can have the most beautiful aircraft in the world yet it leaves you cold! There has to be a chemistry with the aircraft in your life too

What makes that chemistry is hard to put your finger on hard to identify
I would not call the Chipmunk beautiful. It has a Beauty for sure with its character and slightly Retro look

A new word which seems to be coming into play more nowadays is Retro
Retro for me means a number of things

Style, classic, quality of a past era and the Chipmunk has that
Beautiful aeroplane? Have to think on that as there are two types. Universal beauty as seen by many and in the eye of the beholder
