Airfix - Bristol Superfreighter - 1:72
Product Code: A05002V
The Bristol Superfreighter was designed in 1952 as a
development of the Bristol Freighter to meet the requirements of the car
ferry services, carrying cars and their passengers across the English
Channel. By 1954 there were Silver City Airways services between
Southampton-Cherbourg and Lympne-Ostend. In 1963 Silver City was
amalgamated with other operators to form British United Air Ferries
still using the Superfreighter. Cross Channel car ferry services came to
end in the late 1960s when cheaper sea ferry services became more
popular.
