The Vickers Varsity was a British four-seater crew trainer aircraft with liaison capabilities that entered service with the RAF in 1951. The Vickers Varsity was powered by two Bristol Hercules 264 14-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engines providing a top speed of 463 kmh and a range of 4260 km. A bomb bay below the fuselage could carry 600 lbs of bombs used for visual bomb aiming practice. In 1956 Vickers Varsity aircraft were used in Australia for communications and gathering air samples during the nuclear tests.
