	Vickers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers Defence was sold to Alvis, becoming Alvis Vickers Ltd.
		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.

		The Vickers VC10 is a cantilever low-wing monoplane.
		Vickers 266 was armed with a 0.303 inch calibre Vickers Mk II fixed forward-firing machine-gun in the port side of the forward fuselage with synchronisation equipment to allow it to fire through the propeller disc, and one 0.303 inch calibre Lewis Gun Mk IIIA trainable rearward-firing machine-gun in the rear cockpit.
		The Vickers Valetta was a modification of the Vickers Viking transport and general purpose aircraft and was powered by two Bristol Hercules Mk 230 radial piston engines providing a top speed of 415 kmh and a range of 850 km depending upon load.

	Vickers
		Vickers produced one of the first aircraft designed to carry a machine gun, the Vickers Gunbus.
		It was a pioneer in producing airliners, early examples being converted from Vimy bombers, and went on to manufacture the piston-engined 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 was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc in 1999 for £576m ($1.03Bn.) The marine propulsion portfolio of Vickers made it particularly suited to Rolls-Royce, transforming the group into the global leader in marine power systems.

	Trainer (aircraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This convertibility brings with it political risks, in recent years the sale of Hawk aircraft by British Aerospace to Indonesia has, for example, been highly contentious.
		A minority of military training aircraft, such as the Vickers Varsity or HS125 Dominie were developed from light transport designs to train several navigators at the same time.
		As these navigational trainees are normally learning how to navigate using instruments, they can be seated at consoles within the aircraft cabin and do not require a direct view of the landscape over which the aircraft is flying.

	G-APAZ The Tuffley Varsity - Gloucestershire Message Boards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		On 27 March 1963 a twin engined Vickers Varsity aircraft - with the civilian registration G-APAZ - crashed on a house in Tuffley Avenue, Gloucester.
		The Varsity - a descendent of the Vickers Wellington bomber of World War II - had flown from Staverton airport where it was involved in research into one-engined landings when the one good engine cut out.
		It appears that the pilot was struggling with the controls of the aircraft and was trying to crash land either at nearby school playing fields off Calton Road or a local rugby ground.
