I found several sources for Chipmunk details, which don't agree, especially on weights. However I've been unable to work out if they were referring to different versions or if not which are correct. Please feel free to investigate further. DJ Clayworth 15:32, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC) ---

[edit] AEF replacement

Can anyone confirm that the Bulldog did in fact replace the Chipmunk with the AEFs in 96? I believe the AEFs came under the control of the UASs at this time, and they both received from Tutor from 99? Sc147 16:25, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The 'dog did in fact replace the Chippie at the AEFs from '96. The Tutor replaced the 'dog from '99 since the dog had reached its life expectancy and the RAF did not want to pay the exhorbitant price that BAe was going to charge for a fix.

It was cheaper to go with a civilian contractor who brought on the Grobs.
