NOTE Much more about the Vimy here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrMOH5G0hbLV6wV6PHFUtB0e4ssuyGfx The idea to build a replica Vickers Vimy sprung from the fertile mind of Peter McMillan. He along with Lang Kidby flew it from Brooklands to Australia in 1994. This short clip shows the first flight since 2005 which took place on the 19th March 2008 from near the Top Gear test site at Dunsfold .
