Avro Lincoln in the Argentine Air Force

Thirty Avro Lincoln bombers served with the Fuerza Aerea Argentina from 1947. Eighteen of these Lincolns were newly built, along with twelve ex-RAF aircraft. The final Lincolns were retired in 1967.

Lincolns were deployed during an attempted military coup conducted in September 1951, while the type was also used by both the government and rebel forces during the 1955 Revolución Libertadora coup which resulted in Argentinian President Juan Perón being deposed.

Argentinian Lincolns were also used to conduct supply airdrops in support of Argentine operations in the Antarctic region.
