Possibly there was an Argonaut as well, but an armoured floor was fitted by the RAF to one of the Queen's Flight Vikings VL232 for a royal tour in South Africa. According to p.19 of "The Eagle Years" by David Hedges, Eagle Airways subsequently bought it as G-APAT and considered it "down on performance" until they found the reason!
