As everyone knows, it is the 100th anniversary next December of the Vickers Vimy flight from England to Darwin.
I was down in Adelaide over the weekend and had a look at the Vimy. The aircraft is hidden in the side of the overflow car park. It is very difficult to find, and every young Adelaidean I spoke to about the Vimy had no idea even what I was talking about.
Here is a link to an article published in the Adelaide Advertiser.
It appears the airport operator could be interested in relocating the Vimy into their new International Terminal. Also, the South Australian Aviation Museum at Port Adelaide would be interested in having it there.
Another idea would be to set up a Smithsonian type museum in Canberra and have the Southern Cross, the Vimy and our other major aviation icons located there.
What do others think?
