The Vickers Vimy was one of a new generation of heavy bombers which were designed to attack German strategic targets but which failed to see active service during the First World War.
A number of Vimys were used for flying and parachute training duties.
In May 1967 the Vintage Aircraft and Flying Association decided to build a Vimy replica to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Alcock and Brown's trans- Atlantic flight.
