Adelaide Airport Vickers Vimy Exhibition
The Adelaide Airport Vickers Vimy Exhibition is a key aviation heritage project hosted by Adelaide Airport. It is not specifically identified as a nonprofit organisation, but it plays a significant role in preserving and showcasing aviation history in Australia.
Background
The Vickers Vimy aircraft was piloted by brothers Ross and Keith Smith in a historic flight from England to Australia in 1919, marking the first official such journey. This achievement was recognized with the Smith brothers being knighted by King George V[1][2].
The Exhibition
- Location: The exhibition is housed within the Adelaide Airport terminal, providing an engaging experience for visitors from around the world.
- Features: The exhibition includes interactive displays, audio-visual presentations, and artifacts from the original flight[5]. It also offers a unique viewing perspective with mirrors allowing visitors to see inside the cockpit and a mezzanine level for viewing the aircraft from above[5].
- Collaboration: The exhibit was revamped and relocated as part of a terminal expansion project, involving collaboration with the History Trust of South Australia and the South Australian Aviation Museum to ensure the preservation and presentation of the aircraft[4].
Significance
The Vickers Vimy Exhibition serves as an educational resource, highlighting the importance of aviation history in Australia. It is open daily and attracts visitors who are interested in learning about the pioneering achievements of Ross and Keith Smith[1][5].
Preservation Efforts
Efforts were made to ensure the long-term preservation of the aircraft, including optimizing environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to protect the artifact[4]. The revamped exhibition features state-of-the-art lighting and interactive elements designed to enhance the visitor experience while safeguarding the historic aircraft[4].
