Preserved at its former home base of Summerside P.E.I.. Although the paint is faded the aircraft is in very good condition given the damp maratime climate of Atlantic Canada.

Arriving at Greenham Common for the 1977 Air Tattoo. I never thought I would see one of these interesting Britannia developments.

Operated by 415 Squadron Canadian AF. Exhibited at the 1977 RIAT show at RAF Greenham Common.

This magnificent aircraft is currently held in the Reserve Collection at the Canada Aviation Museum.

This gorgeous Argus is one of five survivors from the 33 built and is on display at the National Air Force Museum of Canada.

Magnificent machine about to touch down for the 1977 IAT, from 415 Sqn, Summerside, PEI. The Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the Britannia, married to a new unpressurised fuselage of Canadian design and US engines. 10736 was stood down in 9.81 when replaced on maritime patrol by the CP-140 Aurora and scrapped

Perhaps a type that younger viewers won't readily recognise, the Argus was a piston-engined Britannia derivation which bridged the maritime patrol gap between Lancasters/Neptunes and the CP-140 Aurora (Orion). First flown in 1957, 33 were built and the last was retired in 1982. Six airframes survive, but not this one
