	Vickers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd became part of the nationalised British Shipbuilders but was the first to return to the private sector.
		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.
		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.

		Unfortunately, the 3 Vickers Valentia's of the Communications Flight with their full loads of bombs were positioned in the hangar area in full view of the attacking Iraqi guns awaiting nightfall to undertake their planned Bombing sorties.
		By late that afternoon the reserve Aircraft Valentia KR.2792 had been made serviceable by the over burdened ground crews, whose primary duties were keeping the No.4 Flying School Aircraft of the "Habbaniya Air Striking Force" in flying condition for their continual attack sorties in daylight.
		By this stage all 3 Valentias were suffering from extreme wear and tear, minor damage and a chronic lack of maintainence due to the heavy demands placed on the limited number of Ground Crews available.

		Other offspring of the Vimy were the Valentia troop carrier, with a bloated, more circular fuselage, and the Virginia heavy bomber.
		The photograph that you have just uploaded is of a Vickers Valentia and not a Vickers Vimy (note the slightly swept back wings and rounded fuselage).
		Given that several Vickers types were used in that region I think that "Vic" is more likely to be an abbreviation of Victoria rather than Vickers, and the fuselage doesn't look right for a Vimy.
