VH-RSP
DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10
(c/n C1/0446)
This was the former VH-AJD, re-registered into the Royal
Aero Club of NSW's series in 1956 as
VH-RSP. In
1967, when the club disposed of it, it became VH-ESP. Three of the images
present-
ed here are from Greg
Banfield, and were all taken at Bankstown. (1) Above, in June
1964, when
the Chippie carried
the name "City of Sydney"
under the cockpit; (2) immediately below, in October
1966 sporting a rather ugly
set of shark's teeth and, (3) in January 1967, sans nose art and
approximately
eight months before it was
sold off. At the foot of the page is a nice contemporary
photo of -RSP (4)
after its sojourn as
-ESP, but unfortunately I have lost the provenance of this shot.
If the photographer
would kindly advise me (Glenn?)
I would like to include the applicable credit. Note minuscule
rego now
under the tailplane.
