EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk aircraft with the registration number G-AOJZ, operated by Airwork Limited, is seen parked at Perth Airport in the 1960s. This specific Chipmunk, with manufacturing serial number 0181, had a former life in the Royal Air Force under the serial number WB732. The image captures the grace and elegance of this iconic British trainer aircraft, with its distinctive rounded canopy and bright red tail fin. However, this photograph holds a somber history. On May 31, 1966, G-AOJZ crashed 7 miles south-west of Perth, marking a tragic end to its aviation journey. The Chipmunk, a beloved aircraft in the aviation community for its versatility and popularity as a trainer, was a common sight at airfields across the United Kingdom during the 1960s. The de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk was a single-engine, two-seat primary trainer aircraft that was first introduced in 1947. Its design was a significant improvement from its predecessors, offering better performance and handling capabilities. The Chipmunk was widely used by the Royal Air Force and various civilian flying schools for pilot training. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history of aviation and the stories that lie behind each aircraft. Despite the tragic end of G-AOJZ, its presence at Perth Airport in the 1960s represents the spirit of adventure, innovation, and the pursuit of flight that continues to captivate us today.
