VH-RVK
(c/n C1/0098)
RAF serial: WB658
This is the Chippie which my
life-long friend Richard J. Maclean and his partner flew to second
place in the
1964 R.M. Ansett Air Race from Brisbane to Adelaide. It is seen here at
Parafield,
Adelaide, at the end of the Race. VH-RVK was formerly registered VH-BSJ. The color shot
of it below was
taken at Morwell, circa 1963, and is from Geoff Goodall (courtesy of
the John
Willis
collection). On 8 September 1964 -RVK
was unfortunately written
off in a fiery crash
at
Bangholme (near its base at Moorabbin).
