EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of intense focus and preparation as the crew of the historic Vickers Vimy aircraft undergo a thorough inspection prior to their groundbreaking England to Australia flight. In the foreground, from left to right, are the renowned aviators Captain Ross Smith, Lieutenant Keith Smith, and Sergeant W.H. (Wally) Shiers. Their determined expressions and sharp attention to detail reflect the significance of the upcoming journey, which would make them the first team to fly non-stop from Europe to Australia. In the background, Jim Bennett can be seen in the rear cockpit, ensuring that every aspect of the plane is in optimal condition for the long-haul flight. The Vickers Vimy, a stalwart of aviation history, stands proudly in the background, its sleek design and powerful engine embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation that drove these pioneering pilots on their epic transcontinental voyage. This image is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the early aviators and the pivotal role that the Vickers Vimy played in shaping the history of air transport.
