This Chippie was first registered in Australia in 1987. It is the former RAF WB683 and G-AORL. I had the great pleasure of flying it once many years ago when I was doing my aerobatic training.

On a very long short final for a practice touch and go at Bendigo. In September 2008 UK-based Oxford bought out General Flying Services and this former GFS Skyhawk SP has been repainted in the new house colours. This aircraft was registered new in Australia on 2 November 2006 but it was destroyed in an accident at Moorabbin on 8 June 2018.

This is one of those tricky ones! The original WB518 was built for the RAN and delivered in 1950. In 1965 it was delivered to Bankstown for disposal and eventually bought by the town of Griffith, NSW, as a war memorial and mounted on a pole in the centre of town. After VH-HMW/WD828 crashed in 1987, WB518 was removed from its pole and the forward fuselage and centre-section was used to rebuild WD828. The corresponding bits from WD828 were used to reconstruct WB518, and it was re-mounted on its pole.

In Jan 2005 I did a trip Essendon-Swan Hill-Shepparton-Essendon in the right hand seat of this Air Ambulance. Very interesting and enjoyable flight, and on the way home the Melbourne basin was the clearest I've ever seen it.
