Aircraft History and Usage

The Bristol Superfreighter was a British transport aircraft and air ferry, widely used in the 1950s and 1960s, i.e. the post-war period. It was designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company and served mainly to transport vehicles and passengers on short routes. A key application was the regular flights across the English Channel, where it operated as an air ferry between Great Britain and France, significantly speeding up the transportation of cars and people compared to sea crossings. The main operators were British airlines, such as Silver City Airways, as well as carriers from Australia and several Commonwealth countries.
