Hi Stratocruiser, glad you enjoyed the post.

Here's the only Argosy I ever caught which was in the Finningley static in the early '80s and must have been one of the last in operation.

I think this was the last one in military service. It heavy landed at West Freugh in October 1984 and spent the rest of its days there on the dump.

Hi ElaReF,

Don't recall ever seeing a camouflage Argosy, think all the ones I saw were in either radar checker role colours or ETPS. They look more purposeful in camo though.

This is one of the camouflaged ones that I took at Kemble.
