Many thanks to Dave Welch for permission to add these air-to-air photographs.

Dave says:

I believe the Chipmunks and the Provosts were London University Air Squadron, taken about 1956. I believe all those aircraft were based at Kenley at the time.

London UAS arrived at Kenley from Booker, over 2 – 4 January 1956, flying Chipmunks & Harvards. Unfortunately, the UAS diary is missing May – September 1956, but it does record that training recommenced at Kenley in October 1956 when they were flying Chipmunks and Provosts. The UAS moved to Biggin Hill in April 1957 where they only flew Chipmunks.

Many thanks to Tony Adams for additional information from the London University Air Squadron diary – Air27/2862/1
