VH-RNF  DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10                               (c/n  C1/0082)

                                

                                     This early Chipmunk (ex WB639) was sold to the Royal Newcastle Aero Club in 1956.  The
                                     above image, from the Eric Wagner collection, was taken by Bob Fitspatrick when the aircraft
                                     was visiting Bankstown sometime in 1956.  Below, in a nice shot from the Barrie Colledsge
                                     collection, it is seen at Broadmeadow Airport about to leave on a club trip to Tasmania in 1957.
                                     VH-RNF was written of in an accident on 9 December 1961.
