This Chippie has had a long and convoluted history. It was originally built for the RAF as WB616, then civilianised in the UK as G-AOSC. In 1957 it was imported by the Latrobe Valley Aero Club and appropriately registered VH-MOE(1) on 17 April that year. A year later it was sold to the Goulburn Aero Club, who re-registered it VH-GAH on 13 June 1961. The following year it was sold to the RACSA who re-registered it VH-BWM(2) on 24 August 1962. And another year later again it was sold to a private owner and re-registered VH-UEU(1) on 1 November 1963.
