Heading home to Luskintyre after the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's Chippie Rally. This former RAF Chippie, WB710, was de-mobbed in January 1951 and according to some sources went to the Sri Lankan Air Force. In any case it went to Ireland as EI-AJB in 1956 before coming to Australia in 1958 where it became VH-RSM(2) with the Royal Aero Club of NSW. Later re-registered VH-WMT, then VH-WMG. It was restored and re-registered VH-RSM(4) in 1987. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
