Summary
| Description |
Built 1918 This is the aircraft in which John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic in June 1919. The Vimy had been designed in 1917 as a bomber, but when the First World War ended this example was converted with extra fuel tanks to attempt the crossing. The pair left Newfoundland on 15 June and landed at Clifden in Connemara, Ireland some 16 hours later to become national heroes. It joined the Science Museum in 1919 and is remains on display in the ‘Flight’ Hall. Science Museum, South Kensington, London. 16-6-2015 |
