John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown had made <span class=\"imp\">the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic<\/span> and won the Daily Mail&rsquo;s 10,000 pound prize; the aircraft is preserved in London&rsquo;s Science Museum. The Vimy had been designed by Rex Pierson for a war that ended before it could fight; it became the backbone of the RAF&rsquo;s heavy bomber force in the 1920s instead, and flew record routes to South Africa and Australia too.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">From church bells to the Gunbus<\/h3>\n<p>The company behind it was much older than aviation. Vickers began in 1828 as a Sheffield steel foundry, founded by Edward Vickers and his father-in-law George Naylor, and its first fame came from casting church bells. It moved into armour, guns and warships, bought Maxim&rsquo;s machine-gun company in 1897, and in 1911 set up an aviation department, opening a flying school at Brooklands in January 1912. In 1913 it showed an armed pusher biplane at Olympia, and its F.B.5 Gunbus, which flew on 17 July 1914, became <span class=\"imp\">the world&rsquo;s first operational fighter aircraft<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">The geodetic Wimpy<\/h3>\n<p>In 1927 Vickers merged with Armstrong Whitworth to form Vickers-Armstrongs, and in 1928 its aviation arm bought Supermarine, the Spitfire&rsquo;s maker. At Brooklands, Barnes Wallis devised the geodetic lattice structure that gave the Wellesley and then the Wellington their strength. The Wellington, the Wimpy, first flew on 15 June 1936 and was the only British bomber built for the whole of the Second World War, with 11,461 or 11,462 made, more than any other British bomber. In 1943 a Broughton team built one, LN514, in 23 hours 50 minutes to beat a Californian record.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Valiant and the bomb<\/h3>\n<p>After the war the chief designer was George Edwards. His Valiant, first flown on 18 May 1951, was the first of the RAF&rsquo;s V-bombers in service. On 11 October 1956 a Valiant flown by Edwin Flavell dropped Britain&rsquo;s first atomic bomb over Maralinga in South Australia, and in May 1957 another dropped the first British hydrogen bomb over the Pacific. All eight British nuclear weapons ever detonated after an air drop fell from Valiants. Metal fatigue grounded the type, and it was retired in January 1965.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Viscount, VC10 and the end of the name<\/h3>\n<p>Vickers&rsquo; civil aircraft were as important. The Viscount, flown in 1948, entered service with BEA on 18 April 1953 as the first turboprop airliner, and its quiet cabin and big windows sold 445. The Vanguard was overtaken by jets, but the VC10, flown at Brooklands in 1962, set a subsonic Atlantic crossing record of 5 hours 1 minute that stood for 41 years, and served the RAF until 2013. By then the aircraft side had gone: in 1960 the government pressed it into the British Aircraft Corporation with Bristol, English Electric and Hunting, and the Vickers name for aircraft was dropped in 1965.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">A Sheffield foundry famous for church bells built the first operational fighter, flew the Atlantic non-stop first, mass-produced the Wellington, dropped Britain&rsquo;s nuclear bombs and launched the first turboprop airliner.<cite>Vickers &middot; verified 2026-10-03<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Vickers in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The company<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>In short<\/dt>\n<dd>Aviation from 1911<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Parent Vickers founded in Sheffield in 1828 as a steel foundry<\/li>\n<li>Aviation department formed 1911; Brooklands flying school January 1912<\/li>\n<li>Merged with Armstrong Whitworth in 1927 as Vickers-Armstrongs<\/li>\n<li>Bought Supermarine in 1928; Vickers-Armstrongs (Aircraft) Ltd from 1938<\/li>\n<li>Aircraft business merged into BAC in 1960, holding 40%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Production<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Best known for<\/dt>\n<dd>Vimy, Wellington, Viscount<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Wellington: 11,461&ndash;11,462 built<\/li>\n<li>Warwick: 846<\/li>\n<li>Viscount: 445<\/li>\n<li>Valiant: 107<\/li>\n<li>VC10: 54<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Today<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Now<\/dt>\n<dd>Part of BAE Systems lineage<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>BAC became part of British Aerospace in 1977, now BAE Systems<\/li>\n<li>Brooklands Museum preserves Vickers aircraft at the old factory<\/li>\n<li>Vimy of Alcock and Brown displayed at the Science Museum, London<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"gnote\">The wider Vickers group survived until 1999, when Rolls-Royce bought it.<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The numbers<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Wellingtons built<\/dt>\n<dd>11,461 or 11,462<\/dd>\n<dt>Viscounts built<\/dt>\n<dd>445<\/dd>\n<dt>Peak Wellington production<\/dt>\n<dd>302 a month across Weybridge, Broughton and Blackpool<span class=\"gnote\">1942<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>British air-dropped nuclear tests flown by Valiants<\/dt>\n<dd>all 8<\/dd>\n<dt>Vickers-Armstrongs rank among British manufacturing employers<\/dt>\n<dd>third, behind Unilever and ICI<span class=\"gnote\">1935<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>Share of BAC on formation<\/dt>\n<dd>40%<span class=\"gnote\">1960<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"fleet\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">The aircraft<\/div>\n<h2>Every notable Vickers aircraft<\/h2>\n<div class=\"acgrid\"><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/vickers-vimy\/\"><span class=\"im ph2\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers Vimy<\/b><em>Heavy bomber &middot; first flight 1917<\/em><\/span><\/a><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/vickers-wellesley\/\"><span class=\"im ph3\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers Wellesley<\/b><em>Long-range bomber &middot; first flight 1935 &middot; 177 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/wellington\/\"><span class=\"im ph4\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers Wellington<\/b><em>Medium bomber &middot; first flight 1936 &middot; 11,461&ndash;11,462 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph5\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers VC.1 Viking<\/b><em>Airliner &middot; first flight 1945 &middot; 163 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/vickers-valiant\/\"><span class=\"im ph6\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers Valiant<\/b><em>Strategic nuclear bomber &middot; first flight 1951 &middot; 107 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><span class=\"acard\"><span class=\"im ph7\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Vickers VC10<\/b><em>Long-range jet airliner and tanker &middot; first flight 1962 &middot; 54 built<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"pcred\">Photos: Alan Wilson, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons (full-scale replica); San Diego Air and Space Museum Archives \/ Wikimedia Commons (Public domain); IWM (public domain); RuthAS \/ Wikimedia Commons (CC BY 3.0); Adrian Pingstone &#183; Public domain; Royal Air Force VC10 C1K\/K3\/K4.
