EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous First Crew of the first flight from the United Kingdom to Australia, as they proudly stand before their Vickers Vimy aircraft, having completed the groundbreaking journey in less than 28 days. Among the crew members are Sir Ross Macpherson Smith (second left) and his brother Sir Keith Macpherson Smith (far left), who bravely piloted the plane across the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean. Accompanying them were Sergeant Jim Bennett (second from right) and Sergeant Wally Shiers (far right), who served as essential crew members during the record-breaking journey. The flight, which took place in 1919, covered an impressive 13,100 miles with an actual flying time of 135 hours. This achievement marked a significant milestone in aviation history, demonstrating the incredible determination and skill of these pioneering pilots. The Vickers Vimy, a two-engine biplane, became an iconic symbol of transport and exploration, paving the way for future long-distance flights and advancing the possibilities of air travel.
