Illustrated is the prototype of the Chipmunk, the first wholly-new design from de Havillands' Canadian associate, which first flew on 22 May 1946. From the Chipmunk, de Havilland Canada has gone on to produce a succession of successful designs, culminating in the Dash 8.

EXPERIMENTAL RUDDER on the prototype de Havilland (Canada) DHC-1 Chipmunk two-seat primary was one of three/four shapes tried before the final curved line, familiar today, was adopted. This photograph was taken at the Toronto factory about a month after the first flight in May 1946.

The classic Chipmunk has seen widespread use as a basic trainer but few armies have operated the type. An exception is the British Army Air Corps which has used Chipmunk T.10s for basic training from the 1950s to the present day, although this will shortly change when the type is retired and replaced by contractorised training. The example here, WP964, was a 'one-off' example operated by the Forward Air Control Flight at Middle Wallop in camouflage colours which earned it the nickname Spitmunk - it is still active today but is now only used for training alongside the other Army Chipmunks in standard red/white colours.

The RAE Farnborough Aero Club has been in existence for many years, initially with Tiger Moth G-AJHS on strength. However, with retirement of this aircraft it was replaced with Chipmunk G-BDDD from the mid-1970s. Both aircraft are seen here in formation over Farnborough airfield, the Chipmunk still serving to this day, albeit now in the 'Raspberry Ripple' colour scheme.
