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
ZK-RFS ex WB693 of Vintage Wings
The LOM M332A powered ZK-LOM ex WB745 of D N Sinclair
and ZK-SAX ex WK551 of the local Chipmunk Syndicate
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
It then ended with a photogenic lineup outside the Warbirds clubrooms
Pity about the weather.
