EDITORS COMMENTS
Two RAF Armstrong Whitworth AW660 Argosy CMk1s soar through the clear blue sky in this photograph. The Argosy, a versatile transport aircraft produced by the Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Limited, was first introduced to the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s. The AW660 Argosy CMk1s, specifically, were a significant development in the Argosy's military career, featuring an extended fuselage that increased cargo capacity and allowed for the transportation of larger loads. In this image, the two Argosy aircraft appear to be on a routine training mission, their wings glinting in the sunlight as they fly in formation. The distinctive shape of the Argosy's fuselage, with its hump-like profile, is clearly visible, as is the large cargo door at the rear of each plane. The intricate details of the engines and wing structure are also on full display, showcasing the impressive engineering that went into the design and production of these aircraft. The Argosy was a workhorse of the RAF, serving in various roles including troop transport, cargo transport, and even as a maritime patrol aircraft. Its versatility and reliability made it a popular choice for military operations, and it saw action in numerous conflicts and humanitarian missions throughout its service life. Today, the Argosy remains a beloved symbol of the RAF's rich aviation history. This photograph captures a moment in time, a fleeting instant in the lives of these two Argosy aircraft as they fly through the sky, bound for their next destination. It is a reminder of the incredible engineering feats that have allowed us to take to the skies and explore the world in ways once thought impossible.
