long story short my father used to fly these in the ATC many years ago,without being too maudlin he has a terminal condition however is at the moment quite fit and healthy. So i would like find an active chipmunk trainer and arrange a flight /flights for him whilst he can appreciate it. I'm in the northwest but distance is not a problem
Any help in locating a plane will be very gratefully received .Cars are my thing so i really have no idea how to go about this

I am fairly sure there are Chipmunks available at Blackpool for pleasure flights??

As an aside my first ever flight was in a Chipmunk with the RAF at 10 AEF Woodvale :-)

Possibly too far south but a company down here in Shoreham has one. Thought i'd suggest anyway, if it helps!
