BEA's Series 222 G-ASXO entered service in March 1965. Note how the nose undercarriage retracted into a fairing underneath the nose. This was to avoid interrupting the freight floor.

The last Argosy to fly, Series 222 G-ATTC was sold by BEA to Canadian operator Transair as CF-TAZ in April 1970. It went on to several other operators, being scrapped in 1992.
