VH-AMV DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10
(c/n C1/0174)
Formerly the RAF's WB722. Was to
have
been civlianized in the UK as G-AOSP but went
directly
to Australia as VH-BTL in 1958. A year later it was
VH-BWF and in 1963 became
VH-AMV for Bob Couper Pty
Ltd. Geoff Goodall took a couple of shots of it over the
years:
Above at Jandakot, WA in 1968 and below at Parafield in 1983. A
rather odd insignia on the
latter, I fancy. In 2005 the
aircraft
was acquired by Pays Air
Service (Colin Pays) as part of his
Warbird
Flying Museum, located at Scone, NSW and is
now decked out (of course)
as WB722.
