VH-MOE
(1)
DHC-1 Chipmunk
T.10
(c/n C1-0057)
Another of the Latrobe Valley Aero Club
Chipmunks. This aircraft was delivered to that
organization in 1957, being ex RAF WB616. In 1961 it was sold off
and became VH-GAH
(the
second). This shot was taken at Moorabbin in 1958 on the
occasion, I think, when
VH-MOB was sold to the Royal Victorian Aero Club. i.e. to carry
the ferrying pilot back
to Sale, in
Gippsland, the Aero Club's base. It went on to be operated by the
Royal Aero
Club of
South Australia as VH-BWM and was
then re-registered as VH-UEU, an identity
it holds
to this day.
