About This File
X-Plane 11.30+ Vickers Varsity 1.2.0. The Vickers Varsity is a British twin-engined crew trainer operated by the Royal Air Force for 25 years from 1951. The Varsity was introduced to replace the Wellington T10 trainer. The first production aircraft were delivered for operational use in 1951 to No. 201 Advanced Flying School at RAF Swinderby, where they were used to train pilots to fly multi-engined aircraft. It also equipped two Air Navigator Schools in 1952, and the Bomber Command Bombing school, with the job of training crews for RAF Bomber-Command's V-bomber crews. The last flying example (Serial WL679) was operated by the Royal Aircraft Establishment; it was retired into preservation at the RAF Museum (Cosford) in 1992. Please see the included documentation for further details on this model. By Ray Hill.
