Default Re: Relic of Antarctica's first plane found on ice-edge

Thanks for that flighter. The "plane" was supposed to fly in Antarctica but damaged its wings on trials in Australia, it was taken for use as an "air tractor", something it wasn't very good at either as it happens. It is noteable also for being the first plane built by the Vickers company.
