The oldest of the air liners used by Imperial Airways is the Armstrong Whitworth "Argosy", which has seen much service in all parts of the world. It is a biplane of the triple-engined type with a wing span of 90 ft. 4 in., and a length of 67 feet. It has a maximum speed of 110 mph., and is capable of flying for a period of 5½ hours at a cruising speed of 95 mph. The standard "Argosy" ' carries 20 passengers, 10 seated on each side of a gangway that runs down the centre of the cabin; and although this machine was produced some years ago the passengers are accommodated very comfortably. The cabin is heated and lighted by electricity, and there is an efficient system of ventilation. The machine is used on the cross-Channel services of Imperial Airways, and for many years has been employed on the "Silver Wing" service.
