One of three views of the pristine Viget taken at Brooklands shortly after the machine was completed during the summer of 1923. The Viget was in every respect a miniature light aeroplane, beautifully built and finished in true Vickers fashion. Only the bottom wing had dihedral and the wings were unstaggered.
The Viget's cockpit was tiny and the instrumentation minimal.
The prominent 2 1/2:1 chain reduction gear can be seen. The low position of the engine allowed direct gravity fuel feed from the tank, which was situated under the deck fairing just aft of the engine bulkhead.
The three-quarter rear view at right emphasises the full-span ailerons and compact appearance.
