As a by-product of working at Boscombe Down I get access to and spend some time reading the old reports and one that has always intrigued me was the one on the Argosy armament trials.
Built and operated at a time when there was still a little colonial policing to carry out I suppose the sight of an Argosy carrying 6 1000 lb bombs shouldn't be surprising, but to me it is.
I thought that this installation was a one off until I noticed the 3 hard points and electrical connectors along each lower fuselage chine of the Argosy at the RAF Cosford museum.
