Bristol Type 170 Superfreighter Mk 32 thats an old bird and such an unusual airline ~ transporting cars and vehicles and freight

 

 

Thanks for the plane id

 

 

By 1960, Silver City's 40,000 annual cross-Channel flights transported 220,000 passengers and 90,000 vehicles while network-wide freight haulage reached 135,000 tons a year.^[7] The following summer, the airline reached agreement with a French rival to co-finance construction of a branch line linking Le Touquet Airport with the nearby main railway line to reduce surface travelling time from/to Paris.^[7][27] Unsustainable losses as a result of the loss of the Libyan oil industry support flight contract, increasing competition from roll-on/roll-off ferries and the lack of suitable replacements for the ageing Bristol Freighters resulted in growing financial difficulties, culminating in Silver City's takeover by British United Airways (BUA) holding company Air Holdings in 1962

so before 1962 when it became BUA, as seen carrying Morecambe and Wise's Rolls in "That Riveira Touch".

Edit: as you say.
