Vickers aircraft, 1920

Caption

Vickers aircraft, 1920. Aerial view of what appears to be a Vickers Vimy commercial aircraft in flight (with the unusual registration 17-X on the tail fin). The same basic airframe was used for the Vickers Vernon, adopted by the RAF as a cargo aircraft between 1921 and 1927. Photographed around the time of the first aerial Pageant at Hendon (3 July 1920).
