On display at Science Museum London. Capt. John Alcock, DSC and Lt. Arthur W. Brown were the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic in this aircraft from Newfoundland to Ireland on June 14-15, 1919. Powered by a pair of 360-hp Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines, the modified Vimy had extra fuel tanks to complete the crossing in 16h 28m through dense fog, freezing temperatures and a snowstorm. They carried the first transatlantic airmail. The aviators were knighted after the historic flight and won the £10,000 prize by the Daily Mail. The Vimy went on display at the museum on 15 Dec 1919.

This is the aircraft in which John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic on 14-15 June 1919. Rebuilt by Vickers at Brooklands it was presented to the Science Museum in 1919 and has been displayed at South Kensington since.
