The fine Vickers lineage. When my young F/Os asked what a Varsity was (I'm an ancient aviator), I used to tell them it was "an aluminium-skinned Wellington, with a nose wheel". Not truly accurate, but it gave the idea. I stopped after one young man asked "what's a Wellington?" No sense of history, these whippersnappers.
