VH-BSR DHC-1
Chipmunk T.10
(c/n
C1/0189)
Ex WB743, this Chipmunk came onto the register in
1957. The two shots above are both from the
Geoff Goodall
collection. The top one was taken at my old stomping grounds of
Western Junction,
Launceston, Tasmania in September
of 1962 (I was long gone by that time, and was then working for
Western Air Lines out of
LA). In the lower shot, taken at Managlore, Victoria in
1968, the aircraft
has grown a pair of swank looking spats
that look like they may have come off a Cessna. VH-BSR
was
withdrawn from use in 1980, although has now been restored as VH-OSR,
the rego -BSR having
been re-allocated.
