VH-AFL  DHC-1 Chipmunk 22                                 (c/n   C1/0795)

                                                            

                                   This Chipmunk was the third VH-AFL and was not registered in Australia until 1976.  Hence
                                   it should not really be part of this collection (after my watch).  No excuses......  I just decided
                                   to put it here.  Phil Vabre saw it above at the AAAA National Fly-in, Echuca, 19 March 2017.
                                   The shot below was a couple of decades earlier by Barry Maclean  at Mangalore, Victoria.
                                   As can be seen, it was the former RAF WP919 and was civilianized in late 1975 as G-BDJO.
                                   It was shipped out almost immediately to Australia and probably never carried the UK rego.
