Ex XP447. Built as an Argosy C.1 and converted to a T.2 in 1974, still wearing the name 'Horatious' given when operating with 215 Squadron. Registered N1430Z in 1976 with Management Jets International to operate a contract for the Alaska Bureau of Land Management. Withdrawn from use in 1991 and displayed, initially at the Museum of Flying in Santa Monica and later the Milestones of Flight Museum at Lancaster, Fox Field CA. That museum closed in 2015 but the Argosy remains stored there at time of upload.
