Squadron until they were replaced by the Hawker Siddeley Andover during 1978. Hawker Siddeley Argosy T Mk 2 After the removal of the Argosy C.1 from the cargo/transport role, it was decided to modify 14 aircraft as Navigation Trainers for RAF Training Command, which were intended to replace the Vickers Varsity. One aircraft XP411 was re-designated as the Argosy T Mk 1 in advance of delivery of the T Mk 2 fleet. Only two aircraft (XP447 and XR136) were modified as the Argosy T.2, but they were not successful, the programme having been abandoned as a consequence of defence spending cuts.
