Vickers F.B.27A Vimy Mk.II

08/15/2008. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Pictured is the Vimy Mk.II prototype, the first Vimy powered by two 360 hp Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled V-engines, that became standard on most production aircraft. Built at Weybridge, Surrey, it was first flown in early 1918."
