Vickers Type 123

The Vickers Type 123 was a British single-seat biplane fighter of the 1920s, designed and built by Vickers Limited as a private venture. It was a conventional biplane powered by a 400 hp Hispano-Suiza T52 engine and was built at Weybridge Aerodrome in 1926, registered G-EBNQ in February 1926 and first flown on 11 September 1926. In 1927 it was fitted with a 480 hp Rolls-Royce F.XI engine and redesignated Type 141. It competed unsuccessfully in an Air Ministry fighter competition in January 1928, was then modified as a fleet fighter to Specification 21/26 and carried out deck trials on HMS Furious in June 1929. It won no orders and the only example was scrapped in 1930.
