Last Flight of the Vickers Vimy
This is a 1994 replica of the Vickers Vimy, making its final landing before being put on permanent display at the Brooklands Museum. This airframe has recreated three of the pioneering flights made by a Vickers Vimy: England to Australia, England to South Africa, and Alcock & Brown's historic first Atlantic crossing in 1919.
