EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk (G-ARMB, msn C1-0099, ex-WB660) from the College of Air Training, nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Hamble Airfield. Circa 1962, this image offers a glimpse into the past of aviation history. The Chipmunk, a beloved trainer aircraft, was manufactured by de Havilland Canada and first flew in 1947. Its distinctive design, with its high-wing configuration and open cockpit, made it an iconic part of the aviation world. This particular Chipmunk, registered to the College of Air Training, is a 22A variant, which was an upgraded version of the original Chipmunk, featuring improved performance and handling. The College of Air Training was an esteemed institution that provided flight training to both civilian and military students. Hamble Airfield, located in the heart of the United Kingdom, was an ideal location for the College due to its proximity to London and its excellent facilities. In this photograph, the Chipmunk appears to be undergoing maintenance or preparation for a flight. The ground crew can be seen working around the aircraft, while other planes are visible in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the airfield. The serene setting, with the rolling hills and trees in the background, contrasts beautifully with the industrial nature of the aircraft and the hustle and bustle of the airfield. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the important role that training institutions like the College of Air Training played in shaping the lives of countless pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk remains an enduring symbol of the golden age of aviation, and this image captures its essence perfectly.
