VH-REW (1)  DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10                     (c/n  C1-0020)

                                     

                                          VH-REW was a very early ex-RAF Chippie (WB568) purchased by the RACWA in November
                                          1956 and designated 'Chipmunk 7'.   The above image, from the Geoff Goodall collection is the only
                                          one I have ever seen of this machine which was written off when it stalled in from 150' when the engine
                                          failed after take off from Norseman, WA on 22 September 1957.  The pilot, who had neglected to turn
                                          the fuel cock to 'On' was luckily uninjured.
