VH-RJK DHC-1/A1 Chipmunk
(c/n C1/0070)
Originally a
Chipmunk T.10, this aircraft was formerly the Royal Vic's VH-RVT (ex WB629).
Following a
crash at Moree, NSW, it was rebuilt with a Lycoming engine and
provision for a
belly
tank, as seen above in the image by Geoff Goodall, taken at
Kellerberrin, WA in June of
1975. Note weird dorsal
fin, probably due to increased slipstream
Geoff
took another
shot of
it (below) whilst it
was doing duty as a glider tug at Cunderdin, WA in
1976. Finally.
John Wheatley
provides a color image of this Chippie at the foot of the page, taken
at Banks-
town,
circa 1971.
