A final flourish by six Chipmunks from Southampton University Air Squadron: WG482 "12" (C1/0532), WD391 "14" (C1/0329), WP781 "16" (C1/0671), WP840 "10" (C1/0723), WK630 "15" (C!/0644) & WP851 "11" (C1/0736). The University Air Squadrons commenced retirement of the Chipmunk the following month, its replacement being the Scottish Aviation Bulldog. WG482 was de-mobbed as N31106, to VH-ZOT, N754RB.
