The Canadian Vickers Velos was a Canadian twin-engined float-equipped sesquiplane designed and built by Canadian Vickers Limited in 1928. Designed for survey work, it proved difficult to fly and only one was built. (Wikipedia)

Detailed records of all known RCAF and Canadian-built aircraft may be viewed on line in the Canadian Aircraft Serials Personnel Information Resource (CASPIR). The  CASPIR website is researched, coded, and maintained entirely by Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) volunteers with only one staff assisting periodically. This work has taken several years and is unlikely to be finished as continuing research leads to “new finds” and rediscovered Canadian aviation heritage and history.  The CWHM volunteer team looks forward to continuing to update and correct the record as additional information and photos are received. Check here for the Velos.
