I think the Chipmunks were used for initial CPL GFTs.
GFT 1 - Navigation
GFT 2 - General Handling
GFT 3 - Instrument Flying
GFT 4 - Night Flying
The Doves were used for initial Instrument Rating tests.
Initially all 4 GFTs were done in the Chippy but then something happened to make them rethink and after that only twins (Doves?) were flown at night.

Both happily survive.
G-AMMA went to Denmark via the Luton Flying CLub and the College of Air Training. It currently flies there in pseudo RCAF markings:
G-ANWB lives at Blackpool, though I don't think it flies much now, if at all:

Chipmunks were used for CPL flight check. Doves for instrument ratings. That was a challenge if you had not flown either types before. Both thorough and fair. Unusual attitudes on basic instruments only was always interesting.

Jump seated on G-UKCA an HS125 back in the nineties, Luton-Tessside-Inverness-Luton.
Great crew, great days.
She is still flying with a Russian registration.
