I remember seeing an Argosy (fire)dumped at Northolt, UK in 1982.
Anyone an idea which one it was (serial) and perhaps a photo?
Help is appreciated ..

Re: Northolt 1982 - Argosy
Memories.... In 1982 I flew (as passenger) with one of them (Rhein-Main->Lyneham, Boscombe Down->Rhein-Main). The crew mentioned it was the last remaining one on one of very last flights.
