Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy
Country	UK
Role	Cargo Transport
First flight	8 January 1959
Built	74

The Armstrong Whitworth Argosy was a British post-war transport/cargo aircraft, it was the final aircraft to be designed and produced by aviation company Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft. Although given different internal design numbers, the AW.650 civil and AW.660 military models were, for most practical purposes, the same design, while both models also shared the “Argosy” name.

Hawker Siddeley Argosy E Mk 1: During 1963, Hawker Siddeley Group dropped the names of its component companies, rebranding its products under the Hawker Siddeley banner. To meet a requirement for a RAF flight inspection aircraft, nine Argosy C.1s were modified in 1971 as the Argosy E.1. These were a regular sight at British military airfields, being operated by 115 Squadron until they were replaced by the Hawker Siddeley Andover during 1978.

Country	Czechoslovakia
Role	Light bomber – Reconnaissance aircraft

The Aero A.12 was a Czechoslovakian biplane light bomber and military reconnaissance aircraft manufactured in small numbers shortly after World War I.
