CBR · Post by **CBR** » 21 Jul 2015, 10:06

I remember seeing an Argosy (fire)dumped at Northolt, UK in 1982.

Anyone an idea which one it was (serial) and perhaps a photo?

Help is appreciated ..

Thx, rgds, Carl.

Ken Ellis' Wrecks & Relicks (9th edition 1984) indeed has this one as

XR137 Argosy E.1
on dump, intact

Memories.... In 1982 I flew (as passenger) with one of them (Rhein-Main->Lyneham, Boscombe Down->Rhein-Main). The crew mentioned it was the last remaining one on one of very last flights.
