British Vickers Victoria Transport/Bomber

The Vickers Victoria was a British twin-engine biplane transport developed after the First World War. It served the RAF in moving personnel and supplies, particularly in imperial and Middle Eastern settings where air transport offered advantages over difficult ground routes. It also reflected the relationship between large biplane bomber and transport design of the period. The Victoria carried troops and supplies on imperial air routes, including operations in the Middle East. It was used during the evacuation from Kabul in 1928–1929. Its slow biplane configuration illustrates the practical limitations and usefulness of transport aviation before modern all-metal airliners. Its RAF service preceded modern transport aircraft.
