DHC-1 Chipmunk. the Belgian Air Force bought 2 aircraft for evaluation in 1948. pictures were taken today during the Aalter Air Rally in Ursel. OO-CII is a Mk.22 chipmunk (ex-Danish AF P-125) that was repainted in BAF markings, serial C-2, in 2023 (original BAF C-2 crashed in 1965 as OO-MER).

revealed today, this is the D-Motor DKT-07, a new Belgian indigenously designed and built helicopter.
whats so special about it is that it not only flies on traditional aviation fuels, but its also the first helicopter in the world to fly 100% on non-fossil fuels.
