18 FLIGHT, 6 January 19;>l Vickers' Golden Jubilee A PICTORIAL TRIBUTE TO A GREAT COMPANY v_yf all the great families of aircraft, none has a more remarkable history than that which we relate pictorially in the following pages, commemorating the 50th year of Vickers aircraft. These pictures—148 of them—represent an astonishing range of types and variants; yet no claim is made for completeness by reason of the complexity, and sometimes obscurity, which is so characteristic of the Vickers lineage. Though some of these aircraft are truly household words (notably the Vimy, Wellington and Viscount) there are many that will, we believe, be quite unfamiliar to most readers. Several of the pictures are published for the first time. In each instance the type of engine fitted is given in parentheses. No 7 Monoplane (R.E.P.) 1911 No 6 Monoplane (Viale) 79)2 No 5 Monoplane (R.E.P.) 1912 No 7 Monoplane (Gnome) 1912
