About the De Havilland Chipmunk T.10:
The De Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk was a post-war primary trainer aircraft designed in Canada and built under license in the United Kingdom. The T.10 variant served as the RAF's primary basic trainer from 1950 through the 1990s, teaching generations of pilots fundamental flying skills. Powered by the reliable De Havilland Gipsy Major engine, the Chipmunk featured tandem seating, excellent visibility, and forgiving flight characteristics that made it ideal for ab-initio training. Its robust construction and delightful handling qualities earned it a special place in aviation history. Many Chipmunks remain airworthy today, beloved by vintage aircraft enthusiasts and still used for aerobatic training and recreational flying.
