EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk aircraft with the registration number G-APAC, which bears the manufacturing serial number msn 0167 and the former RAF designation WB715. The image, taken around the year 1960, depicts the Chipmunk in pristine condition before its unfortunate incident at Luton on 8 May 1962. The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a renowned two-seat primary trainer aircraft, initially designed and manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company of Canada. Known for its versatility, the Chipmunk was widely used by various military forces and flying clubs due to its excellent handling characteristics and robustness. In the image, the Chipmunk's distinctive features are evident, including its high-wing configuration, tailfin with rudder, and rounded canopy providing excellent visibility for the pilot and instructor. The aircraft's propeller spins gracefully, suggesting that the engine is running, ready for takeoff or a flight training session. Unfortunately, the history of G-APAC took a turn on 8 May 1962, when it met with an accident at Luton. Despite the setback, the Chipmunk's enduring popularity and significance in the aviation community remain undiminished. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the aircraft's rich history and its role as an essential training platform for countless pilots.
