The first ever flight from the United Kingdom to Australia, sometimes known as The Great Air Race, took place in 1919. Of the six entries that started the race, the winners were South Australian brothers Ross and Keith Smith, serving as pilot and co-pilot respectively. They were also accompanied by mechanics James Bennett and Wally Shiers, all of whom made the successful journey of 14,350 kilometres (8,917 mi; 7,748 nmi) from London to Adelaide in a modified Vickers Vimy bomber. One other entrant reached Australia; the other four crashed en route, two of whose crews were killed. Although the race had finished upon reaching Australia in Darwin, an extra leg of 3,290 kilometres (2,044 mi; 1,776 nmi) to the Smith brothers' hometown of Adelaide was undertaken. The prize-winning Vickers Vimy aircraft is displayed in a climate-controlled museum of the same name, in Adelaide Airport.
