Under conversion by "Bill" Bonner of Bonner Engines to take a modified water-cooled Ford V6 engine, known as the Bonner Super Sapphire V6. Exhibited as such at Farnborough Air Show in 1976. By 1980 it was re-styled as a "Chipmunk 200". With no interest shown by the Air Ministry it was put into store at Shoreham circa 1981 and subsequently converted back to standard configuration. Current in 2025 in RAF marks as WK611. This photo is copyright © Terry Dann, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
