Chipmunk pilots and enthusiasts are invited to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the first flight of the de Havilland Chipmunk aircraft at a Fly-In at Old Warden Aerodrome, Bedfordshire, on Sunday May 22 2016.
The airfield will be open for arrivals and departures from 08:00 until 18:00 and a celebration formation will take place between 12:00 and 13:00.
