Forgive my error in reading the titles properly - must need some more oiling...........

That post was purely a response to Leif mentioning the BOAC/BEA training and I was not aware of anything said earlier :think:

I see what you mean but I had to read back to find it

Garry

I remember the Barons alright -- I cant remember what they replaced the Chippies with Cherokee? or Musketeer???

Garry -- I can understand - I see three different civilain operators of Chipmunks in the thread so far................

didnt Leavesden Aviation operate a number as well?


Leif

Dunno Leif

We saw the Hamble ones who repostioned here after complaints about noise nuisance at Hurn where they used to fly to,

Ironic given the amount of One-Eleven testing at the time.

Garry

I think it was more about getting people getting their hands on real estate. back to Chipmunks in general and Ricks paint kit.....just saw screenies of the Powder Blue Chipmunk Look for it at the pond soon.


Leif

Back to the Berlin Chippie's.....My book shows i flew on WG486 and i believe WG466....which i think went to the BBMF....must dig out my photos...

And for Leif....I am sure i showed you this...?

Me at Gatow after the fall of the wall and first visit of an East German Mi-8...



And one of me in another Gazelle taking this photo... ;-)



And the sharp eyed may notice the horses and carriage missing of the top of the Brandenburg gate...

Tony,

Very interesting photos. The Broussard at Eggesford (No.208 and now G-YYYY) used to patrol the French Sector from 1976-1982 and we believe was the only aircraft of its type to see service in Berlin.

Martin

Thats really interesting Martin....I If i recall correctly i think the Americans also flew the PC6 or similar when i was out there....i'll have to look into that....I think the French also flew something after your bird.... :think:

Tony

Did you notice the Horse and Carriage missing or was it you that knicked them? :think:

Garry
