I remember doing my first (and only outdoor) engine change on one of the above. I seem to remember that moving the stand about was the hardest part.

A few more from the archives:
XN817 showing military rear door, in company with a Beagle Bassett (crew transport).
G-APRL during a period of storage at EMA.
Another ABC Argosy, this time G-BEOZ.
Finally another shot of G-APRL being towed out of the hangar just prior to her last flight.

Not sure if Bill is still around. Fields/Hunting packed up in 98, and I think he had already retired by then. I will make some enquires.
As regards the main leg, I had not heard that before but looking at a picture of a Vulcan leg they do seem to have a passing resemblance.

Thanks Dick the last time I saw EMA was in 1980 when it was still a village airport. I doubt I could find my way around now.
Where you early enough at Fields to remember the ABC Viscount ? The chopping up of the Argosy virtually at Fields front door?
The sight and sound of RR's Spitfire popping around the circuit on a fine day was a memory as was the assymetric training going on in the BMA 707's.
