Wikipedia says the Vickers Virginia was utilized for parachute
training.
"The final almost all-metal Virginia Mark X was the most numerous RAF
bomber until the ascendance of the Heyford in 1934. After its
technical obsolescence as a bomber it was used for photography and for
parachute training, with jump platforms installed behind the engine
nacelles."
