In an effort to get something started may I say how much I enjoyed my Argosy experience. For an aircraft which really had marginal performance, but great fun to fly, the four main original squadrons covered an enormous part of the world. Even the Benson squadrons flew from Singapore to North America and the West Indies. The Benson squadrons were great outfits and included a great range of personalities . The culture off the then Transport Command was often shaken by those folks who were transferred from the Night Fighter Force (ex Javelin Pilots and Navs) - many a great dining-in night ensued.
