Bristol Superfreighters - the unique air ferries



Flying two or three automobiles and up to 20 passengers at a time, Bristol Superfreighters have ferried more than 25,000 cars from England to the Continent since early 1953. Cost for a car on the 20-minute cross-channel hop is about the same as the boat fare. By moving a wooden partition, space can be made for either three 14-foot cars and 20 passengers, or two of the largest American makes and 12 passengers.
