First flown as G-1-7 and delivered to Riddle Airlines as N6502R in 1.61, this Argosy passed to Capitol, Zantop and then Universal as N895U. In 2.72 she returned to the UK for Sagittair (which earlier flew Beech 18s from Heathrow) but they soon closed down and the aircraft is seen here having been acquired by Air Bridge Carriers. Still at EMA, preserved in Elan colours at the Aeropark
