Photo Comment

Seen from Chipmunk G-APLO during formation training near Seppe (EHSE) in the south of the Netherlands. Delivered in October 1952 to No. 8 Reserve Flying School at Woodley, this classic served the RAF as Chipmunk T.10 WP901 until retirement from No. 6 Air Experience Flight after April 1993, followed by storage at Newton. Became G-BNWT in March 1996 and OO-WPB in January 2022. Code B was its last operational one, with 6 AEF.
