I saw N7DW at Oshkosh in 2016. I normally don't like Chipmunk conversions, but this one is exquisitely done.

Why T10?

Here's a question to get the thread going again.

Why wasn't RAF Chipmunk called the T1?

Is it somehow related to the fact the Vampire trainer is the T11?

I don't think so. My last flights with UBAS were at a Summer Camp at Marham in July 1969, and I'm pretty sure that WD353 was still part of the fleet then.
