IPEC's former VH-BBA, seen here on overhaul. It was officially registered to World Vision International (of Monrovia, California) as N37807 on 14 Jul 1980, but at the time of this photo it was painted with the spurious registration "N87807½" on its left side. Eventually returned to service with IPEC as VH-IPD in June 1983.

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!

Delivered to 267 Sqn in 4.63 but soon transferred to 215 Sqn at Changi. Joined 114/267 Sqn in 5.68 and featured at the Paris Air Show in 6.71 but 114 Sqn disbanded at RAF Benson four months later and the Argosy fleet went into storage with 5MU from 1972. XR106 was sold to Hants & Sussex Aviation for parts and succumbed to the scrapper's axe next month

This aircraft was operated by the Empire Test Pilots School. It is seen here receiving attention at Field Aircraft Services. Whilst I visited regularly it was rare for me to be allowed to take photos in the hangar. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair at RAE West Freugh on 1st October 1984

Just over the road from the RNZAF base at Woodbourne, this immaculately displayed machine is preserved by The Argosy Trust outside a cafe, recalling the period when it often operated from the airfield. Originally G-ASXN with BEA, it later went to Transair in Canada and then to NZ in 1974. A careful study of Google Earth back home had established that I'd get the best sun angle in the morning, but it was cloudy then. Note plastic owl bird scarer on the wing!
