(I suspect your use of VH-CVM was a typo)
Dora-9,
Obviously it was a subliminal message to you to reply
Thanks for the info. I was surprised to discover that while I had taken multiple photos of other aircraft at the Tauranga museum, I have only this one of CVM. There is a better picture of the rudder here (
NZ Civil Aircraft: A very tidy unit. ) and a nice picture of the cockpit.
I couldn't fly CVM, because the owner was down-route on his day job and none of the instructors at Classic Flyers had been checked out.
It is in beautiful condition but a shame that the yellow is the wrong colour. It is more lemon-yellow than the picture shows. It should be more like the colour of the chocks.
After my post, I found this page (
De Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk ) showing another Chipmunk from the same batch, in a very sorry state.
