Vickers Vimy

8,282 Jamawi  11 months ago

History:

Only a handful of Vickers Vimy aircraft had entered service by the time the Armistice of 11 November 1918 came into effect, so the type did not serve in active combat operations during the war, but the Vimy became the core of the Royal Air Force (RAF)'s heavy bomber force throughout the 1920s. The Vimy achieved success as both a military and a civil aircraft, the latter using the Vimy Commercial variant. A dedicated transport derivative of the Vimy, the Vickers Vernon, became the first troop-transport aircraft operated by the RAF.

During the interwar period the Vimy set several records for long-distance flights, the most celebrated and significant of these being the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, performed by John Alcock and Arthur Brown in June 1919. Other record-breaking flights were made from the United Kingdom to destinations such as South Africa and Australia. The Vimy continued to be operated until the 1930s in both military and civil capacities.


How to fly:

This features a detailed skeleton, making destruction of it so much more satisfying, allowing for sections of wings or fuselage to be ripped away from the aircraft exposing the wood.

This also features two Vickers machine guns on the plane, both automatically lock on target when either of the target modes are active, press fire guns as normal to shoot.
