Into service within months, the Chipmunk was procured in large numbers by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal Air Force (RAF). Now, nearly 80 years after the type first entered service, hundreds of Chipmunks remain airworthy and are in operation around the world. A total of 1,283 Chipmunks were built - 217 by de Havilland Canada, until production ended in 1956, and 1,000 were built under licence by de Havilland itself - initially at Hatfield Aerodrome before production was transferred to Broughton, near Chester..
