VH-BWB (2) DHC-1
Chipmunk T.10
(c/n C1/0055)
Here's -BWB along with -BWK basking in
the sun at Parafield in January of 1963. A nice
evocative shot by Geoff Goodall, with both machines in the original
livery. When overhauled
in
1964 -BWB was left minus its fin flash (see Bob Neate's shot below
taken at Parafield on
15 January 1964). A little more than two weeks (on 2
February 1964) later it was destroyed
when it failed
to recover from solo spin practice in the Parafield training area
seriously injuring
the pilot,
Miss D. Workman. The machine came to rest in the grounds of
the South Australian
Gas
Co at Port
Adelaide. Fortunately Miss Workman was not killed.
