VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image presents another historical piece from Vickers Aviation Limited, celebrating a remarkable feat: A formation flight covering 12,000 miles from Cairo to Cape Town and back again by No.216 (Bomber) Squadron RAF using Vickers "Victoria" twin-engined troop carriers powered by Napier "Lion" engines. This demonstration not only showcased rapid transportation capabilities but also emphasized how advanced aviation had become in supporting garrison towns and collecting valuable data essential for establishing permanent air mail services across Africa—a testament to the pioneering spirit of early aviation.
