CF-DJF-X de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk
This is a de Havilland of Canada Aircraft Co photograph
(dated November, 1946) of the second
Chipmunk
prototype. The "-X" in the rego only appears on the
fuselage. The first protoype was
CF-DIO-X. The machine illustrated above was unfortunately
destroyed in a crash on 19 January
1947 in
what was, in essence, the first spinning accident involving a
Chipmunk. For more on
