As a kid I remember the Argus would occasionally fly over the Martin Mars water bomber base on Sproat lake Vancouver Island just as the Aurora does today. Back then I would hear the Argus fly over at verios altitudes over my town on a weekly basis. It sounded identicle to our Mars water bombers. The last time I saw an Argus fly was in November 1978 months later in 1979 they were replaced by the Aurora. It would be neat to see an Argus restored to flying condition.

I remember as a kid living in Summerside PEI, seeing and hearing these planes on a daily basis and the unmistakable sound still reverberates in my memory... also a very sad day in I believe 1977 or 78 when an Argus crashed at CFB Summerside, sitting in my classroom about ten miles away when the explosion shook the walls as she went down taking a few friend's fathers with her... My stepdad who was an airframe tech spoke so highly of the Argus, I never tired of listening to his stories about them

The Argus was a fantastic aircraft for the role is was used in. The fleet was looking pretty grizzled by retirement, and while the Aurora was at least a generation newer it never could fill all the spaces the Argus. A couple of years ago I ended up chatting with an ex Argus pilot and he had only good words to say about flying the plane.

no shit, my dad also flew FE on this plane, summerside, i guess around mid 70's. Also he flew the buffalo, voyaguer. He is retired now but still works as a sub contractor for maintenance.

Nice Video. My father flew on the Argus as an FE out of Sumemrside until 1967. A terrific airplane!

I had the chance to get a ride in the Argus out of CFB Greenwood. Anybody who went to Air Cadet camp in Greenwood in the 70's will always remember the engine start-up at five AM
or earlier.

Love the Argus and your video (my father flew the Argus at Comox 1968-70, after previous years (1943-1968) on Argus, Neptune, Bristol, Lancaster and Liberator). But you need a new title for the video - and the music SUCKS!!
