Cargo conversion. Delivered to Aer Lingus as EI-AJK in 1958. To SATA as HB-ILR in 1969 then to Overseas Aero Leasing as G-BBDK in 1973.

Certainly the most rewarding result I had from Guernsey, the second Argosy to be built is seen here taxiing out in basic Air Anglia colours. First reg 2.1.59 then to Riddle, Zantop and Universal in the States; restored to G-APRL 11.73. Now preserved in Elan colours at the Midland Air Museum at Coventry

Another load of fresh flowers awaits its trip across the Channel. Hope the recipients of those roses appreciated the classy way they arrived!

Seen taking off from a wet runway.

The aircraft carries out engine runs at the East Midlands Airport maintenance area. This aircraft is now preserved at the Midland Aircraft Museum at Coventry. In the background a British Airways BAC 1-11 can be seen, though I cannot recall ever seeing one here!

Seen outside what was then Fields (now BMA) hangar. Note the BIA Cargo DC3 being serviced inside
