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

Looking very smart in RAF Air Support Command's unique sand camo, this Argosy carrying the cobra emblem of 114 Sqdn was an unusual visitor to Southend, although the type did make appearances at the splendid airshows there in 1968 and 1970. First flying in 8.62, she was wfu at Shawbury just four months after this photo then moved to Kemble from 2.72, being broken up there in 1975

How about a Whistling Wheelbarrow formation team then? The Red Arrows practise on their Gnats above Kemble while many of the RAF's Argosies languish in storage below. XP438 joined 105 Sqdn on 14.8.62 and moved to 114 Sqdn in 1967. Withdrawn to 5MU in 10.71 and broken up 12.75

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
