The BBMF kindly send both of their Chipmunks to join the other 32 that made it to Old Warden for the type's 75th anniversary and as I've never actually managed to see either of them before I went a bit overboard with photos, so here are a few:

Have only seen both in the BBMF hangar but that was way back when they both had the original BBMF black scheme, never knew they had both been repainted.

Great photos of these two lovely chippies... saw them both enroute ott the East of England Show Ground.
If you have any photos of the other 32 chippies that made it in that would be great...would like to see them

Nice to see them in the earlier scheme. I did manage to see almost all that still served into the nineties, visiting places like Woodvale, Turnhouse, Newton, Manston, Shawbury and Swinderby. Thank you for sharing these.
