The Argus operated in RAF service in the unsung but vital liason, communication and ferry roles. This particular aircraft served during WWII with the US 8th AF but was civilianised in 1947 as G-AIZE. She is painted to represent an aircraft operating in the South East Asia Command after arriving at Cosford during 1999. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
