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.
