Brooklands Vickers Vimy Replica Related Videos
This playlist follows a small part of the extraordinary story of the famous Vickers Vimy replica, an aircraft that flew around the world to recreate some of the most celebrated long-distance flights in aviation history. Built to honour the original Brooklands-built Vimy, it retraced landmark journeys made roughly 100 years earlier and became a remarkable tribute to the courage, endurance and innovation of the pioneering crews who first made them possible.
The playlist also tells the story of the aircraft's eventual final landing at Brooklands, the birthplace of the Vimy, and its road move into the museum with the help of trusted recovery friends. For aircraft recovery enthusiasts, these videos offer a rare look at the practical challenge of transporting such an iconic aeroplane by road. They also provide the chance to experience the unique view from the front of the aircraft in flight, adding an immersive perspective to an already remarkable aviation story. Presented in roughly chronological order, the videos combine aviation history, background context and first-hand insight into one of the most significant flying replicas of modern times.
