Entered service in 1952 and here with St. Andrews UAS. Sold as G-BWUV in 1996 and wrecked on 20 February 2009 when the engine failed on take-off from former RAF airfield Wombleton, Yorkshire. The wreck was sold to an owner at Aylesbury, Hertfordshire and the aircraft is still registered in 2022, but not believed to have been rebuilt. [Caution: Chipmunk G-CERD is painted as WK640.]
