Vimy Pilots, England, 1994

"Engines exposed for scrutiny, American Peter McMillan, at right, and Australian copilot Lang Kidby test their ship over England before setting out for the land down under. Their Vimy, a replica of a 1919 British bomber, would prove a handful to fly."

—From "The Vimy Flies Again," May 1995, National Geographic magazine
