2012: Bray Air Display - Chipmunk 169

The aircraft is a faithful replica of Chipmunk 169, as delivered by de Havilland to the Irish Air Corps in 1952.

The Chipmunk, painted as an Air Corps example with the serial 169, is actually a former Royal Air Force machine, serial WD305, current civilian registration G-ARGG. Warbird experts Vintage Fabrics at Audley End in the UK were commissioned to carry out the refurbishment and paint work.
