My father was a Clifden lad and relates the locals going to see the Vimy, in a bog (not far from Marconis' shack that received the first radio signal cross atlantic). So inquisitive were the natives that parts of the Vimy disappeared. A local militia guard was supplied, who apparently knicked the rest. So, if you want a Vickers Vimy in bits, try the attics in Clifden. Warning....an exceeding hospital village.
