A fly-in was planned to celebrate this occasion on Saturday 26th at Ardmore. Unfortunately the weather did not co-operate, so only four local aircraft were able to participate. The four Chipmunks who did take part were: Vaughn Davis' recently made airworthy ZK-CHP/3 ex WZ865 ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/ZK-CHP3_IMG_8529-Edit.jpg) ZK-RFS ex WB693 of Vintage Wings ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/ZK-RFS_IMG_8535-Edit.jpg) The LOM M332A powered ZK-LOM ex WB745 of D N Sinclair ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/ZK-LOM_IMG_8540-Edit.jpg) and ZK-SAX ex WK551 of the local Chipmunk Syndicate ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/ZK-SAX_IMG_8543-Edit.jpg) After a streamed take-off between the rain showers they headed off east to do a bit of formation work out over the Firth of Thames before arriving back overhead Ardmore for a formation 'break and land' onto grass runway 21 ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/IMG_8564-Edit.jpg) ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/IMG_8572-Edit.jpg) It then ended with a photogenic lineup outside the Warbirds clubrooms ![](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/m169/flyernzl/IMG_8588-Edit.jpg) Pity about the weather.

Cool. Chippies are great aeroplanes. A real shame about the weather.
