I had the pleasure today to photograph the Vickers Vimy replica that will re-create the first trans-Atlantic flight by British pilots Alcock and Brown that took place back in 1919. It will be at the Toronto Aerospace Museum for the next few days before flying to Ottawa and then on to St. John Newfoundland where it will set out on a recreation of the first trans-Atlantic non-stop flight to Ireland. The crew flew it in from Oshkosh Wisconsin today and arrived after sunset.
It was very frustrating as there was a golden sun right to the very last ray and when it vanished the Vimy appeared on the horizon and made a few passes before landing. I did the best I could under the trying lighting conditions.
Like a scene from the past people gather to meet the fearless aviators.

Happy Landings,
