	Vickers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vickers was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc in 1999 for £576m ($1.03Bn.) The Vickers marine propulsion product range complemented the Rolls-Royce offering, transforming the group into the global leader in marine power systems.
		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.

		Among the earliest designs of Vickers Ltd (Aviation Department) was the EFB (Experimental Fighting Biplane) pusher of 1913, which led to many more army pushers, including the FB5 (Fighting Biplane No 5) and the improved and faster FB9.
		During wartime, the Vickers factories at Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey and at Crayford, Bexley Heath and Erith on the south-eastern outskirts of London, were kept busy building large numbers of BE2s, SE5a's and Sopwith 1½ Strutters, as well as several prototypes of its own.
		The Wellington was followed by the slightly larger Warwick, adapted for reconnaissance duties with Coastal Command in 1943, and after the war by the four-engined Valiant high-altitude strategic bomber, the first of the RAF's V-bombers to enter service in January 1955.

		By now the aircraft had settled lower in the water and was almost submerged causing the crew to climb up from their position on the wing to the fuselage, which was still above the water.
		The life-boat was dropped quite near to the downed crew, and were seen by the Warwick crew to be making their way towards it, some of them finding it very difficult no doubt due to the extreme coldness, and the heaviness of their flying suits getting soaked in the water.

		In 2002 Vickers Defence Systems (which excluded the marine business) was bought by Alvis plc, and became a subsidiary, Alvis Vickers Ltd. In March 2004 the board of Alvis plc approved a £309m takeover bid by a direct competitor in the field of military vehicles, the American General Dynamics.

		The Vickers Windsor was a high-performance long-range bomber evolved from 1941 onwards by Rex Pierson's design team, initially as a pressurised Warwick III.
		Wallis' Victory bomber almost became reality in the shape of the Vickers Windsor - aircraft design was, after all, his "day job" and his special weapons work was over and above his aircraft work at Vickers (Wallis designed principally the internal geodetic structure, R.K. Pierson designing the rest of the aircraft).
		Vickers Windsor was designed to have four crew in pressure capsule within fuselage using the geodetic construction, but pressurisation was abandoned before the first flight of prototype DW506 (Vickers Type 447) on October 23, 1943, at Farnborough.
