VH-RVV (1)   DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10                                   (c/n  C1/0484)
        
                                
                                    
                                       Above is another of Barrie Colledge's beautiful color shots of a RVAC Chipmunk, this one at
                                       Benalla. Victoria in July 1957.      Below is a shot by John Hopton from the Rodney W. Brown
                                       collection (Moorabbin, circa 1960), showing VH-RVV still in the old livery whilst the rest of the
                                       Chipmunk fleet appear to have been repainted.  It was eventually repainted in the revised scheme
                                       as seen in the image below taken by Geoff Goodall, also at Moorabbin, in May of 1962. 
                                       VH-RVV crashed close to Moorabbin Airport on 6 February 1965 and was ostensibly written
                                       off.     However, bits and pieces of it were sighted at various places including Tocumwal, NSW
                                       as late as 2002, and appear to have been used in making up the whole airframe of currently
                                       registered VH-MMR.
