The Bristol Type 170 Freighter was designed with the unique feature of opening nose doors
The Bristol Type 170 Freighter was designed with the unique feature of opening nose doors, which made it eminently suitable as a cargo aircraft.
It was not long before Silver City Airways were attracted to the idea of starting cross-channel services for cars between England and France. Its first flight was at Filton, Bristol on 2 December 1945 following which a total of 241 of all marks were eventually constructed.
Pictured is a Swallow Dorretti sports car being loaded into a Silver City Airways aircraft, most likely from their base of Ferryfield in Kent.
Circa 1955
