de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk Mk.22

07/31/2012. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Produced for the RAF by de Havilland in the UK as a DHC-1 Chipmunk T.Mk.10, this aircraft was delivered under serial WG422 on October 22, 1951. Struck off charge 22 years later, October 25, 1973, it was transferred to No. 1 SoTT (School for Technical Training) on November 9, 1973, and became a ground instruction airframe under the code 8394M.

Subsequently the aircraft was sold and came on the British register as a Chipmunk Mk.22 on August 31, 1977, and since has had nine sequential civil owners, although still wearing its RAF livery."
