Vickers Vimy Relocation Project

The more than 100-year-old Vickers Vimy was the first aircraft to fly from England to Australia in 1919. Earlier this year it was relocated from its old hangar near the airport’s long term car park to a new purpose-built exhibition space within the recently expanded domestic and international terminal.
The exhibition, which has been carefully constructed around the Vickers Vimy, has been designed by many key contributors. In this video you will hear from those involved in the relocation and creation of the new exhibition space - which features interactive displays with multiple interactive touch screens, projection canvas, audio-visual presentations and artefacts from the original journey.
The Vickers Vimy exhibition space at Adelaide Airport, is now open to the public from 8am to 8pm, 365 days a year.
