I'm pretty sure your bike is a Raleigh, made in Nottingham. By 1965 Raleigh was manufacturing all the bicycles sold under the names of a large number of companies that had previously been independent bicycle manufacturers in England. The same bikes were also sold with the names of American brands. I don't know which of these Armstrong was, but one way or another, what you have is basically a Raleigh Sports. And very nice, too.
