Developed from the BAC Trident airliner. Designed for long-range air surveillance and maritime patrol, the Argonaut excelled in its role due to its incredibly low (around 90mph) stall speed and endurance. Its sole criticism from test pilots and crew was that its roll rate was exceptionally slow. Finished in Anti-Flash white.
