Vickers 142 Vivid

The record-breaking Vickers 142 Vivid general purpose biplane sea plane was later converted to a land plane.

Flown by Capt. Neville Stack and John R. Clifton during 1931 from Heston, West London, it made a series of record-breaking flights to Berlin, Copenhagen, and Warsaw.

The Vivid was later destroyed in a hanger fire at Broomfield Aerodrome, Chelmsford, Essex.
