G'day Coff:

First off, do you have a location/date/serial number for the Chipmunk with the Lightning in the background please?

Are there to be any Chipmunk 'events' downunder coming up .
Not really. On the day only two of the five local Chipmunks were serviceable, while the owner of the other "goer" was overseas working, so I took My Girl alone for a run around the houses to celebrate.

However, the recent Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia annual event at Echuca was themed "The Chipmunk's 70th". 171 aircraft attended, including FIFTEEN Chipmunks. It's the largest number I've ever seen, in fact. Here are some photos from that day - they're all ex RAF Chipmunks:















Not quite the green grass of Old Warden!
