Loading the Jag, 1960 Cars were loaded by the airline staff, whether to spare the owner stress, or to reduce the chance of mishaps, I don't know. This was my father's Jaguar 3.4, and we were embarking on our first ever foreign holiday, a three-week tour of six European countries.
Loading a Tractor, 1960 It wasn't only cars which were transported in the Bristol Superfreighter. Rules at airports were much more relaxed in 1960, and I was allowed to wander on to the apron to take these photographs.
Bristol Superfreighters at Lydd Airport, 1960 The nearer aircraft is ready to load its cargo of 3 vehicles, and the nose doors of the other one are partly open.
Loading a Ford Anglia, 1960 A Ford Anglia - the model with the back window sloping the 'wrong' way, which I think was the 105e - is driven into a Bristol Superfreighter. This particular aircraft bore the name 'City of Durham'.
