EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, three RAF Armstrong Whitworth AW660 Argosy C.Mk1s can be seen gracefully soaring through the sky. The Argosy, a versatile transport aircraft produced by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited, was a mainstay of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) fleet during the mid-to-late 20th century. The Argosy C.Mk1s depicted in this image are XP411, XP412, and an unidentified third aircraft. XP411 and XP412 were both delivered to the RAF in 1963 and served with distinction in various roles, including troop and cargo transport, and even as aerial refueling tankers. The Argosy was renowned for its ability to operate from short and unpaved runways, making it an invaluable asset for the RAF in remote and austere environments. Its distinctive twin-engine configuration and high-mounted wings can be clearly seen in this photograph, as the aircraft fly in close formation. The Argosy C.Mk1s remained in RAF service until the late 1990s, when they were replaced by more modern transport aircraft. This photograph captures a moment in time when these iconic aircraft were still an integral part of the RAF's transport fleet, demonstrating their versatility and capability in flight. This evocative image is a testament to the rich history of the RAF and the important role that the Argosy played in its operations. It is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and power of aircraft in flight.
