Introductory flights in the DHC1 Chipmunk at White Waltham airfield.

Experience what it felt like to fly the de Havilland Chipmunk, a training aircraft used by many air forces, including the Royal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force. 

The DH Chipmunk DHC1 Mk22 was the basic trainer used for pilot training by all three services during the 1950’s through to the 1980’s. 

Our aircraft G-BCPU had a service marking WP973 and will be repainted in 2015 to show its original RAF livery. C1/0839 was built at DH Chester and supplied to RAF in June 1952. It was initially placed in storage until it was issued to the Liverpool University Air Squadron at Woodvale and served with the RAF until October 1974.
