The Vickers Vulture was a variant of the Viking, used by Sqn Ldr Stuart-MacLaren for a British round-the-world flight attempt. G-EBGO, c/n 1, was shipped to Tokyo as a spare aircraft. G-EBHO, c/n 2, was originally a Type 92 Vulture II with a RR Eagle engine, but modified to Type 78 standard with a Napier Lion before it set out from Calshot on 25 March 1924. G-EBHO crashed at Akyab (Sittwe, Myanmar). With sporty American help, G-EBGO was shipped to Akyab and Stuart-MacLaren continued on 24 June, reaching Hong Kong on 30 June. This is thus G-EBGO in Shanghai on 24 July. However, G-EBGO was wrecked too landing on the Bering Sea on 4 August 1924. The crew were rescued. Photo from: Hagley Museum and Library
