 | | Research on Vickers' second amphibious aircraft type began in December 1918 with tests of alternative fuselage/hull designs occurring in an experimental tank at St Albans in Hertfordshire, England. |
 | | The last Viking amphibians were built during 1923, but the name was re-used for the twin-piston engined Vickers VC.1 Viking airliner some 22 years later, which saw service as the Valetta with the RAF and other air arms. |
 | | The Viking Mark VII ("Type 83" in Vickers numbering) was a development of the Vulture, a three-seater open-cockpit fleet-spotter aircraft to Air Ministry specification 46/22 given the service name Vanellus when taken on for evaluation by the RAF against the Supermarine Seagull design. |
