Vickers Vimy “100 Years”
Alliance’s Fokker 100, VH-QQW Vickers Vimy “100 Years” livery commemorates the victory in the Great Air Race of 1919 from England to Australia. It was won by Vickers Vimy registration G-EAOU, crewed by Keith Smith, Ross, Smith, James Bennett and Walter Shiers.
In 1919 the Commonwealth Government of Australia announced a prize of £10,000 for the first Australian to fly from England to Australia in 30 days or less. Accordingly, the Smith Brothers took off on the morning of November 12, 1919, at around 8 am from Hounslow airfield, and on Wednesday, December 10, 1919, at 4.12 pm, landed at Fannie Bay in Darwin. The journey took 135 flying hours over 28 days, making the first flight from England to Australia. The Vimy is currently in storage at the Adelaide airport.
Fokker 100
The F28 Mark 0100 “Fokker 100” is a Dutch medium-sized, twin-jet regional airliner. It first flew on November 30, 1986, and entered service in February 1988 with Swissair. Production ended in 1997 with 283 airframes built. Based on the Fokker F28 Mark 4000, but bigger with increased maximum weights, fuel and passenger capacity. Other changes include a digital flight deck, updated avionics and more efficient engines and wings. Produced in several versions; an extended-range model, the shorter -70 (seating to 80), -100QC quick-change passenger/freighter and -100EJ (Executive Jet) that uses remanufactured airliners.
Airframe construction is all-metal, mainly aluminium alloy, powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 650-15 Turbofan engines mounted externally on each side of the fuselage rear. The flight crew consists of two pilots and typically seats 97 passengers in two classes, a maximum of 122.
