München-Riem

G-APRM
Armstrong Whitworth AW-650 Argosy 102

Rolls-Royce

Another shot of Rolls-Royce‘s G-APRM. The aircraft was frequently seen at Munich-Riem during the 1970s, often on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Seen here parked on stand 11 for a change (usually, it was parked in front of the freight hangar).

Information from flickr - thanks to Dick Gilbert:
The 3rd Argosy built, it flew with BEA from 1961 to 1966, and with Rolls-Royce from 1970. Retired in 1984, it was stored by Fields at Exeter for while, eventually being broken for spares in August 1985.
