Somewhere back in the Archive there must be a lengthy thread of Argosy stories that was developed some years ago - I've just had a look and went a bit cross-eyed going through the Index pages - so apologies that I can't find it.

That said, I heartily endorse what Onceacaptain (ex-267 Exchange, perhaps?) has to say. I certainly enjoyed my time with 105 and 267 Sqns and I look back fondly at those years learning the trade. Using it as a baby-Britannia on sectors like Aden - Bahrain or Aden-Nairobi in ISA +15 conditions showed its limitations but, in and around the UK and Europe, it could be a very useful aircraft indeed. In an AT Tasking job some years later, and after its relatively short time in the AT role had been ended, there were often occasions when I'd have found it useful to still have had some around.
