The Vickers F.B.27 Vimy was a British heavy bomber of the First World War. The aircraft developed by R. K. Pierson and built by Vickers was intended for air strikes on targets in Germany, but never saw combat. With a Vimy, two pilots made the non-stop crossing of the Atlantic for the first time in June 1919. They flew 3667 km in 16 hours 12 minutes, i.e. at an average speed of about 225 km / h over the ground.
After the war, the Vimy was developed into a commercial aircraft and was named Vimy Commercial.
