Flight 1927-03 / Flight

Vickers "Vernon" (Two Napier "Lions"). The Vickers "Vernon" is a development of the famous "Vimy" and its commercial version, which latter has been in service on the London-Continental air routes of Imperial Airways. It is a twin-engined biplane with a large circular section fuselage forming, in the forward half, a roomy cabin with «de windows. The pilot's cockpit is located high up in the nose of the fuselage. It is employed mainly as a troop transport, or as an aerial ambulance, in the Middle East, No. 45 Squadron being thus equipped.
