The Argosy Series 100 first entered service with the American cargo airline Riddle Airlines. Early on, Riddle had expressed interest in the type, having ambitions to use the type to meet contracts to provide logistics support to the United States Air Force (USAF) within the domestic United States. During late 1960, Riddle purchased a batch of seven Argosies for this purpose. However, when Riddle lost the logistics contract during 1962, its Argosies were repossessed by Armstrong Whitworth and subsequently sold onto other airlines, some of which had taken over the contracts previously being served by Riddle.Willing Air Enthusiast May/June 2003, pp. 40–41.

"Argosies at Work." Flight International, 19 October 1961. p. 606. As a stopgap measure, BEA had ordered Armstrong Whitworth's three remaining Series 100s, intending to use them until the airline could receive its definitive Series 220s; during 1964, BEA had placed an order for five such aircraft.

Cooper competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics where he finished in tenth place in the men's eight. He won the coxless pairs with Jeremiah McCarthy, rowing for a Vesta and Argosies composite, at the inaugural 1972 National Rowing Championships before competing in the 1972 Summer Olympics, where the same pair reached the semi finals of the men's coxless pair.

In April 1931 Edward, Prince of Wales and his brother Prince George flew home from Paris–Le Bourget Airport in City of Glasgow (G-EBLF), which landed specially in Windsor Great Park. Three Argosies were lost during service with Imperial Airways, one being written off in a forced landing near Aswan, and one during a training accident, both in 1931, with no injuries in either accident. On 28 March 1933, however, the City of Liverpool caught fire over Belgium, causing a crash in which all three crew and twelve passengers were killed. Argosies continued in service with Imperial Airways until 1935, with the last example, City of Manchester (G-AACJ), being used for joy-riding by United Airways Ltd of Stanley Park Aerodrome (Blackpool), which later was merged into British Airways Ltd.

114 Squadron Argosy wearing the camouflage of the RAF Air Support Command in 1971 During the 1960s, the Argosy was procured for the Royal Air Force (RAF), the first of which entering service in March 1962."Argosies Enter RAF Service." Flight International, 22 March 1962. p. 452. The service frequently made use of its capability to accommodate up to 69 troops, 48 stretcher cases or of freight.

The following month, Argosies replaced Leopards on BEA's London–Jersey freight run. In April 1963, most of the corporation's London – Channel Island flights transferred back to Heathrow as a result of the new competitive relationship between BEA and its former associate Jersey Airlines. The following month, BEA launched a London–Guernsey Argosy freighter service. On 1 June 1964, Vanguards made their debut on BEA's Heathrow–Jersey route.

During September 1990s, the final flight of a New Zealand Argosy was conducted by operator SAFE Air; the aircraft itself was retired and is presently being preserved by volunteer owners near Woodbourne Airport, Blenheim, New Zealand. During 1991, the last operational Argosies, which was being flown by American cargo airline Duncan Aviation, were withdrawn, marking the end of the type's flying history.Willing Air Enthusiast July/August 2003, p. 61.

The Argosy was initially used on European routes (later operating on services to South Africa), with the fleet named after cities. The first passenger flight was from London to Paris on 16 July 1926. Argosies implemented the world's first named air service, the luxury 'Silver Wing' service from London to Paris, using Argosy City of Birmingham (G-EBLO). Two seats were removed and replaced with a bar, and a steward was in attendance.

Pedrick, "Sketch of the Wisconsin Phalanx," pg. 217. Ledger books were finally closed on the community in 1852, with all assets sold and the proceeds distributed. The actual cause of the dissolution remained a matter of some mystery among contemporary observers, with Everett Chamberlain declaring that "Human nature was the rock on which this fine ship split, as did all other argosies bearing the banner of Owen or Fourier."Mapes, History of Ripon, pg. 89.

The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.154 Argosy stemmed from a declaration by Imperial Airways that all its aircraft would be multi-engine designs, on the grounds of safety. They were intended to replace the older single-engine de Havilland aircraft that Imperial Airways had inherited from its constituent companies, mainly Daimler Airway. The first example (G-EBLF) flew in March 1926, following an initial order for three Argosies from Imperial Airways. An improved Mk. II version was introduced in 1929.

Argosy E.1 of No. 115 Squadron, based at RAF Brize Norton, displayed at the Queen's Silver Jubilee Review at RAF Finningley in July 1977. The squadron came back on 21 August 1958, when No. 116 Squadron RAF at RAF Tangmere was renumbered. It was now a Radar Calibration unit operating Varsities, Valettas and briefly the Handley Page Hastings. Argosies began arriving in February 1968 and when the last Varsity was retired in August 1970, the unit was solely equipped with this type.

McCarthy participated in the 1970 World Rowing Championships competing in the doubles sculls event with Patrick Delafield where they finished in seventh place overall after winning the B final. He then won the coxless pairs with Matthew Cooper, rowing for a Vesta and Argosies composite, at the inaugural 1972 National Rowing Championships Following the National Championships he was selected by Great Britain in the men's coxless pair event at the 1972 Olympics, where the same pair reached the semi finals.

The name of Argosies given by writers of the middle ages to large vessels that carried rich cargoes, which were from Dubrovnik. In the sixteenth century the Ragusan's had three hundred vessels in the Spanish navy. These vessels were lost in the expeditions of Tunis, Algiers and others, under Charles V. and Philip II. These losses and the earthquake of 1667 Earthquake Monitoring and Seismic Hazard Mitigation in Balkan Countries by Eystein Sverre Husebye which destroyed the greater part of Dubrovnik, were the causes of the decay of its maritime trade, which however recovered to a certain extent during the eighteenth century.

From July 1960, the second Argosy Series 100 was used to flight-test the new clamshell door design.Tapper 1988, p. 330. On 4 March 1961, the first of the 56 Argosies destined for RAF service performed its first flight.Taylor 1965, p. 152. Early on, civil operator British European Airways (BEA) had shown open interest in the Argosy, the company viewed the aircraft as a potential replacement for its existing piston engined freighters; however, evaluations of the Series 100 soon found that its payload capacity would not allow for the type to operated profitably.Tapper 1988, p. 322.

Reportedly, the Argosy had contributed to BEA possessing a superior air freighting ability to any other airline operating in the region, the type's double-end loading capability being a viewed as a crucial part of its economics. During its operations of the type, the airline lost two Series 220s in separate crashes, choosing purchase another Argosy to replace the first lost aircraft. Reportedly, BEA's small fleet of Argosies was found to be unprofitable, even when BEA introduced the more-capable Series 220s; this has been attributed to BEA procedures relating both to safety and general operations.Flight International 28 January 1965, p. 142.

Because, through all the blight of human woe, Under Robigo's rust, and Clotho's shears, The mind of man still keeps its argosies, Lacedaemonian Helen wakes her tower, Echo replies, and lamentation loud Reverberates from Thrace to Delos Isle; Itylus grieves, for whom the nightingale Sweetly as ever tunes her Daulian strain. And over Tenedos the flagship burns. How shall men loiter when the great moon shines Opaque upon the sail, and Argive seas Rear like blue dolphins their cerulean curves? Samos is fallen, Lesbos streams with fire, Etna in rage, Canopus cold in hate, Summon the Orphic bard to stranger dreams.

Operationally, it could carry various items of military equipment, including combat vehicles such as the Saracen or Ferret armoured cars, or artillery such as the 105 mm (4.13 in) howitzer or Wombat. However, subsequent design changes to both the Saracen and the Argosy's mainspar (which ran throughout the top of its cargo bay) subsequently precluded the use of the Argosy as a Saracen transport. During 1962, the earliest deployment of the Argosy was recorded as being performed to 105 Squadron, which was stationed in the Middle East, along with 114 and 267 Squadrons, based in the UK at RAF Benson. The following year, 215 Squadron received its Argosies, which were stationed at RAF Changi, Singapore.
