The Mk II Argosy had geared Jaguar engines and, at least on the first aircraft, Townend ring cowlings.
A view of the complete machine, from which it will be seen that the new "Argosy," in general appearance, follows the original "Argosy" air liners which have been giving such excellent service on the London-Continental air route during the last three years. Points of interest to note in this view are the neat engine cowlings, with Townend rings, and the Handley Page slots.

We understand the controls are particularly light and effective, and a point of interest in this connection is the fitting of servo control for the ailerons. This servo rudder, which is seen in the centre illustration, is mounted on the lower plane as shown, and can be adjusted by the pilot.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Armstrong Whitworth Argosy - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1926

The cruising speed of this "Argosy" is 95 m.p.h., at which speed the petrol consumption is 65 gallons per hour. The tanks - which may be seen on the upper plane in our illustrations - have a capacity of 360 gallons, which gives an endurance of 5 1/2 hours. The machine can take off with full load in 200 yards and will fly easily on any two engines at an altitude of 2.000 ft.

Subject to official confirmation, this altitude figure is a world's record.

THE "GOLDEN RAY" AIR PULLMAN SERVICE: The Air Union have recently introduced a new Pullman Air Service between London and Paris, known as the "Golden Ray." It is operated by new types of aircraft, shown here, which completes the journey in about 2 hrs. 10 mins. - 30 mins. faster than hitherto. The machine shown is the Bleriot 165, fitted with two 450 h.p. "Jupiters." It is of metal construction.

A NEW ITALIAN-AMERICAN AMPHIBIAN: Two views of the American Savoia Marchetti "S.56." The well-known Italian Savoia machines are being constructed in America by the American Aeronautical Corporation of New York. The "S.56" is a three-seater "Baby" amphibian equipped with an American engine of 100 h.p. It has an overall span of 34 ft. 1 1/2 ins. and a speed range of 38-92 m.p.h. Dual control is fitted, so the machine is equally suitable for instruction work or passenger carrying.

CIRRUS SERVICE: Only the cynic will say that here is Capt. N. Stack carrying a spare engine in his D.H.9 in case of trouble with the other one. Actually this photograph gives an example of Cirrus Service. A Cirrus Mk. III' engine, which everyone will recognise, was urgently needed by the Blackburn Aeroplane Co., Brough, E. Yorks, so the two back seats were removed from the D.H.9 by the A.D.C. Aircraft, Ltd., to convey the engine by air, much to the mutual satisfaction of the two aviation companies.
