Armstrong Whitworth Argosy.

Yeah I remember when I was livng in Melbourne and working at Essendon used to see a fair bit of them then operated by IPEC.

My son then 5 called it the aeroplane with the big head and 2 tails.

We lived in Mont Albert/Balwyn sorta on track Cowes Plenty and on still nights you could hear the dogs start up some minutes before you could hear the 40 ton dog whistle pass over with the night freight from Tassie.



Check out this site I found whilst trolling for a pic brings back memories of the good old Farnborough days when I used to hang out for the BBC/ABC telecast of the Flying Display.
