A nicce list. Regarding N950DH, Aerial Visuals list this as former Irish Air Corps 169 (1). That is the first I hear of this, is this correct? Or is this a purely civilian Chipmunk, as I thought it is?

[woelfie]

Just a quick question: Have the two OY- registered Chipmunks arrived today? If not what's the ETA?
