First Flight from London to Australia in 1919

In 1919, four Australian airmen embarked on a historic flight from London to Australia in a Vickers Vimy aeroplane. Despite challenging weather and the need for repairs in Crete, they successfully navigated through the Middle East, India, and the Far East. After 27 days, they landed in Australia, marking a significant achievement in aviation history.
