Royal Victorian Aero Club (RVAC) DHC-1 Chipmunk 22 VH-RVY Cn C1-0472 parked near the old control tower at Moorabbin Airport in Sep 1964. (I rode my bicycle from Dandenong on this occasion.) The ‘Chippy’, ex-RAF Serial WG398, was Received by the RVAC in 1954. (Ref: Eddie Coates Collection.) I flew in Point Cook Flying Club Chipmunk VH-RSK on 30Jan1972. The 45 min flight included spins, rolls and loops, and some attempted photography during the aerobatics. There was only a 7 year gap between photographing a Chipmunk, and actually flying in one. Low res photo.
