CF-CXJ de
Havilland Canada DHC-1B- 2-3S Chipmunk T. Mk 2
(c/n 114-152)
This RCAF-owned Chipmunk was on loan to the Royal Canadian
Flying Club in Montreal when
this photograph was taken by the late Peter R. Keating at Cartierville
in 1953. Without the bubble
canopy, and
minus
the undercarriage leg fairings, this
machine does not have a typical 'Chipmunk'
look
about it.
Like many others of its ilk, it is sporting a military-style yellow
band
around the rear
fuselage - this one with the Flying Club badge in the
middle. It was around long enough to
have its
registration changed to C-FCXJ, and was
then sold south of the border as N88BA.
