The date of 23 May 2026 is booked at Te Kowhai Airfield. It will be a friendly informal one day celebration with as many Chipmunks there as there can be and supported by as many Tigers as can turn out along with our usual other friends that make up the TMC ranks. Please spread the word and make sure everyone with an interest in a Chippie knows about the day. Get your aircraft out there. There will also be a Q&A with Stan and Vaughn Davis after that. And following on from that, the club is promoting a celebration of 80 years of the Chipmunk on the 23rd of May at a lovely small airfield soon to be confirmed. Planning has just started with our new TMC committee member Peter McVinnie taking the lead. We are asking anyone interested in helping with this great occasion and of course anyone with an interest in a Chippie to contact the TMC by email in the first instance and we can get you all talking together. Sooner the better. It’s another club milestone. Spread the word outside the club as well.
