\FUGHT International, 13 September 19621 tl ••#•»•• 1 J if 1 ^ i 41 I il £ B.E.A. Argosy operations by night. Note that the Argosy is designed with its floor at truck-bed height to make for easy handling of'palletised' cargoes. With the rate of growth of passenger traffic slackening off, freight offers the big opportunities. The rewards will go only to those whose courage and foresight prompt them to invest in the right aircraft now. The Argosy — unlike converted passenger aircraft —is built for the job. That's why it can do it so much better. B.E.A., for example, are operating Argosies (often more than 12 hours a day on one aircraft) on scheduled services on European routes and achieving high load factors (e.g. 85% on the six-times-a-week round trips between U.K. and Germany). And B.E.A. are uncovering a whole new market in outsize freight, because the Argosy's full- width doors and unobstructed fuselage mean that all its cargo space is completely accessible. In addition, the new Argosy 200 series is in production, offering the same 30,000 hours guaranteed life, with bigger payload and better economics. Yes, freight operators who are going places must, repeat must, have Argosies! HAWKER SIDDELEY AVIATION 32 Duke Street, St. James's, London, S.W.1.
