    Единственный "Виккерс-103" "Вэнгард" являлся производной от наиболее распространенных военно-транспортных самолетов Королевских ВВС межвоенного периода "Виктория" и "Валентия". Имея пассажирскую кабину на 20 мест, он одно время был самым вместительным авиалайнером, применяемым на регулярных авиалиниях. "Вэнгард" потерпел катастрофу 16 мая 1929г. в Шеппертоне недалеко от Лондона, находясь в пользовании Британского авиационного министерства.

    VICKERS TYPE 103 VANGUARD. Adoption of the name Vanguard by Vickers Armstrongs for their latest propjet transport recalls the original Type 103 Vanguard of 1922. The 1922 Vanguard was a civil development of the Victoria military troop transport and carried twenty-three passengers.
    The prototype, G-EBCP, was handed over to Imperial Airways for evaluation, and it was used on the London-Paris-London daylight round trips. Proving flights were extended through 1927 and 1928. Eventually the Type 103 Vanguard was returned to Vickers, and on 16th May, 1929, G-EBCP crashed into the Thames near Shepperton, Middlesex, killing the Vickers test pilot , Scholefield. The Vanguard had an all-up weight of 17.600 lb., and was powered by two 600-h.p. Rolls-Royce Condors. Span was 88 ft.

    IMPERIAL AIRWAYS' NEW AIR LINER: On Tuesday, October 27, the Vickers "Vanguard," fitted with two Rolls-Royce "Condor" engines of 650 h.p. each, took up a party at the Croydon Aerodrome, when a complete luncheon was served on board. Very bumpy weather somewhat interfered with the enjoyment of the lunch. The machine was piloted by Major H. G. Brackley, Air Superintendent of Imperial Airways, and the Director of Civil Aviation, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, acted as "spare pilot." The machine has seating accommodation for twenty passengers, and has a top speed of 112 m.p.h. Our photograph shows (1), front view of the machine; (2), a group of distinguished passengers, including, from left to right, Capt. Acland, Major Mayo, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, Major Brackley, and Squadron-Leader Payn. (3), View of the machine in flight, and (4), Side view.
