Terrence I. Murphy, e-mail, 13.02.2012 17:51 The Vickers Type 163 was a prototype British biplane bomber design of the 1930s built by Vickers-Armstrong. It was based on the Vickers Vanox (Vickers "Type 150") scaled up to take four engines in paired mountings. It was submitted both as a bomber and as a troop carrier to Air Ministry specifications B.19 /27 and C.16 /28 respectively first flying on 12 January 1931. Only one was produced. reply |
