G-EAUK  Vickers Viking III S/P                                          (c/n  3)

                                    

                                        This was the aircraft which won the 1920 Air Ministry Competition for Amphibians.  The Land
                                        Trials were conducted at Martlesham Heath with the Seagoing and Mooring-out Trials being
                                        staged at Felixstowe.  This Vickers-Armstrongs shot shows the aircraft having just landed on
                                        the Thames at Westminister and taxied ashore for M.P.s to inspect.  It is still carrying its military
                                        serial N147, an identity it resumed in 1921.
