Vickers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vickers was a pioneer in producing airliners, early examples being converted from Vimy bombers, and went on to manufacture the piston-engined Vickers VC.1 Viking airliner and Varsity military crew trainer, the Viscount and Vanguard turboprop airliners, and the stylish though noisy VC-10 jet airliner, which remains in RAF service as an aerial refuelling tanker. Vickers Sons and Maxim began work on a rigid airship for the British Admiralty in mid 1909 in a dock at Walney Island, Cumbria, sadly it disintegrated upon its second trip out of a floating hangar on the evening of 23 September 1911. In 1928 Vickers Aviation took over Supermarine, later to be creators of the Spitfire. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vickers

Independent, The (London): Obituary: Sir George Edwards Among them, a prototype Viking was the world's first jet-powered transport aeroplane; the Viscount the world's first turbine-powered transport aircraft to go into commercial airline service; the Valiant the first of the British V- bombers; and the VC 10 the foremost long-range jet transport of its era. In all, 1,486 Vickers and BAC aircraft- from Vikings to One Elevens - were designed and built under Edwards's leadership (and several hundred remain in service) together with the collaboration Concordes, Jaguars and Tornados. He was quickly pulling his full weight as a member of the formidable Vickers Armstrongs aircraft team at Weybridge under McLean's chairmanship, with Hew Kilner as managing director, Tom Gammon as works manager, and Barnes Wallis on special projects. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20030307/ai_n12676523   (808 words)
