Canberra, ACT, 1955. Vickers Vimy G-EA OU aircraft stands in the Aeroplane Hall of the Australian War Memorial prior to its dismantling and removal. In 1919, this aircraft, flown by brothers Keith and Ross Macpherson Smith, was the first to fly from England to Australia. It was removed from exhibition in the Memorial because it was not associated with Australian aerial operations in war. The aircraft was later reassembled and put on display at Adelaide airport. Standing in the foreground (left) is a World War 1 German 75mm anti-aircraft gun. Preferred image at P02270.011. (Donor J. White, Curator, AWM)
