G-AKDN is a Canadian built pre-production Chipmunk. serial no. 11 and has the original built up canopy as designed.The big bubble canopy was an RCAF specification and not a in house deHavilland design.

Harvey, saw your note about flying Chipmunks in Egypt - would be interested to learn more especially if you have photos. Best Rod

We operate two Chipmunks from the former RAF Turweston aerodrome - G-BXDI and G-HFRH. Visitors welcome. We are always on the lookout for additional aircraft to join the fleet (projects included)

If it's Chipmunks you're after come on out to Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton, Ontario airport. we have three of the little beasts and fly one regularly. Flights r sale in it too.

Looking to purchase a chipmunk that is either flying or can be made to fly. Does anyone know of one for sale. Please email cockpit_for_two@hotmail.com...thanks


Harvey Hamdy, e-mail, 09.02.2012 01:35

I flew them in the early 60s in Egypt when I was training with Egypt Air. Went solo on 10 hours after I fluffed up a landing on 7.5 hours and had to do extra. Dodn't know about side slipping then. It was really a lovely aircraft to fly.


northern expat, e-mail, 07.02.2012 17:33

Just a clean fun delight to fly, if it was built today it would still be one of the best.


Charles F. Holleman, e-mail, 16.11.2011 23:07

I like your current illustrations much better than the atypical duster, as they represent the "Chipmunks" I know.
The Canadians might like to see one of their bubble canopy ones represented.


Ian, e-mail, 26.09.2011 19:27

The first aircraft I ever flew in back in my ATC days.
I wonder how many others read this & had the same experience.


rebing, 20.06.2011 07:19

It's on it's way back to Downsview to be on display at the Canada Air and Space Museum where it was built.


Lance Jones, e-mail, 07.06.2011 10:31

In 1972 I flew a chipmunk from Perth in Western Australia to Tennant Creek in Central Australia. Because of the limited range of the Chippie I had to fly up the coast to various coastal towns for refuelling then across from Derby to Fitzroy crossing, Halls Creek, Victoria River Downs then across the Tamini desert to Elliot in the Centre and then follow the highway down to Tennant Creek. My brother came along as Navigator and the trip took almost a week. It was a magnificent experience in a beautiful aircraft. I am currently writing a story of the adventure after all these years if anyone is interested.

That's our Chipmunk illustrated at the top of the page! G-AKDN is the 11 pre-production airframe built in Canada at the Downsview factory. It went to the UK as one of the evaluation aircraft. We returned it to Canada and refurbished it to look as it did when originally built. It's on it's way back to Downsview to be on display at the Canada Air and Space Museum where it was built.


Ryan Dodde, e-mail, 04.05.2011 00:03

Floyd,

I understand that you have a Chipmunk for sale. I would be interested in getting some more information if you are.


Floyd Tuckness, e-mail, 16.04.2011 19:19

I got my first Chipmunk in 1978 and we bought my wifes Chipmunk in 1984. They are both T-10(British Manufacture).
One was wrecked in a landing accident so a third was purchased to rebuild my wife's airplane. We now have 2.5 Chipmunks for sale. We are only selling because of age and cost of flying as we dearly love our Chippies.


Mick Skinner, e-mail, 09.03.2011 10:29

I learned to fly in a Chipmunk at RAF Coltishall in 1966 when we were giving ATC cadets air experience flights,my instructor was a Lightening Squadron pilot and we did an hour of solid aerobatics one day,fantastic stuff.For my 60th my family bought me an extreme aerobatic flight in an Extra 300 and my pilot was an ex Lightening and Red Arrows guy, I got to fly all the routines of display shows, did +5g & -2g great stuff must do it again.


fred thompson, e-mail, 25.12.2010 23:03

i have checked my logs and my aircraft dhc-1-82-85
serial no. 190/228 was actually manufactured in 1956


fred thompson, e-mail, 24.12.2010 21:24

i believe my chhipmunk airforce number 052 was manufactured in 54 or 55..i will check log books and advise you.


Peter Gunthorpe, e-mail, 15.05.2010 17:26

I was in the first batch of regular u/t pilots to train at RAF Thornhill S Rhodesia Jan 1952. all our brand new Chippies were Without spinners, Rumour had it that the CO put the first one to arrive onto it's nose and as no spares were available all the others had their spinners removed, to save him embarrassment!!I saw the last regular pilots to solo on Tigers and was the 1st to get the chop on a Chippy


Ray Hollands, e-mail, 20.07.2009 05:34

You say that the last Chipmunk was built in 1951. My Canadian Chipmunk, serial # 18065, was built in 1956. If you would like a proper photo of a representative model, I'll gladly supply one.


Jock Williams, e-mail, 19.04.2009 23:15

You have to get a picture of the trainer model with the Gipsy engine. The one you show lacks all beauty and grace!
The Chipmunk was the metal covered monoplane follow-on to the Tiger Moth -and an excellent offspring it was indeed!
With its wide track gear, bubble canopy and a vast reduction in drag compared to the Tiger it was a magnificent trainer. They could have made it a foot longer and given some more room in the cockpit -and of course a few hundred more horsepower and retractable gear would have almost made it a fighter -but the point is -it could be put back into production today and a lot of flying schools and air forces could make excellent use of it.
How many 1946 vintage aircraft can you say THAT about?

for a drawing try this website- wp.scn.ru
look for trainer aircraft


Bill Flannery, e-mail, 12.01.2009 20:40

Does anyone know where there are 3 view drawings of the Canadian Trainer model?


Charles F. Holleman, e-mail, 22.08.2008 17:18

Why did you pick a duster aircraft for your illustration? It is the aircraft which least represents the typical .


Rod Brown, e-mail, 13.11.2006 04:40

Sorry ... but your production figures are all wrong.
Total = 1283, Canada = 217, UK =1000 Portugal = 66
RAF = 740
