Airplane of the Day

Ex RAF Armstrong Whitworth Argosy XR136 - Peter Hampson, 1976

This airplane was being prepared for delivery to ORAS (Orbital Transport und Raketen AG Stuttgart) involved in the development of low cost rocket technology in Shaba Katanga, Zaire - now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Wikipedia has an interesting story about the rocket company as well as a page about this airplane.
