VH-MOB DHC-1 Chipmunk
T.10
(c/n C1-0059)

In 1956 the Latrobe Valley Aero Club, (based at Morwell,
some 100 km
east of Melbourne, hence
the VH-MO regos)
upgraded its equipment from its aging
Tigers to a small fleet of four Chipmunks.
VH-MOB was one of
them. This aircraft was then sold to the Royal Victorian Aero
Club in
1958.
I do not normally do not take
photographs of aircraft wearing cockpit covers, but knowing
that it was
soon to be
re-registered VH-RVQ I made an exception! This Chipmunk was ex
RAF WB618.
