Product Info
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.
