Used by 105 Sqn and carries "RAF Middle East" titles on fuselage(not visible) There are some derogatory names for the Argosy but I prefer the "Whistling Wheelbarrow" as this photo shows it's clamshell rear doors enabling freight to be easily loaded/unloded from the ramp.

The sound of 4 Merlins! This aircraft called in again on the 31st October en route to Gatwick which must have been it's last revenue earning service. As a matter of interest one of the "lads" managed to get a free seat on this a/c so as to get back to the UK. On returning after his "leave" he told us that as the a/c was taxiing around the perimeter track, it ran out of fuel! Whether it was a 'line shoot' or not I will never know. Or perhaps there is someone out there that can confirm this story...............!? To Castle Donington for spares use by British Midland.
