Vickers Vimy Survivors & replicas Compiled by James Kightly

摘要

As Alcock and Brown's Atlantic crossing predated the official re-establishment of civil aviation in the UK, the Vimy (ABOVE) never received a civil registration. The 13th Weybridge machine built, it was donated after the transatlantic flight to the Science Museum by Vickers and Rolls-Royce, following refurbishment by Vickers at its birthplace.rnThe Smith brothers' Vimy (BELOW) is on permanent show in an enclosed building at Adelaide airport, South Australia. It was retained by the Australian War Memorial after the flight and subsequent tour of Australia.
