VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Continental car tours by 'Bristol' Freighter, " showcasing the unique service provided by Silver City Airways. The image captures passengers, dressed in period attire, ascending a mobile stairway to board a Bristol Type 170 Freighter aircraft. The plane's distinctive high-wing design and large cargo doors are visible as they stand open, ready to receive both passengers and vehicles. The text below the image emphasizes that this service began after an experimental period of car-ferrying the previous year. It announces scheduled air-ferrying services three times daily between Lympne and Le Touquet starting from April 1st. This particular model of aircraft could accommodate two medium or three small vehicles along with six passengers in a separate cabin at the rear. A map inset illustrates the route from London to Paris via Lympne and Le Touquet, highlighting how travelers can bypass traditional land routes for more direct travel between England and France. The advertisement underscores convenience and versatility offered by Silver City Airways through this innovative mode of transport which combines passenger travel with vehicle ferrying across the English Channel—a novel concept at that time. At the bottom, there's an acknowledgment: "THE BRISTOL AEROPLANE COMPANY LIMITED ENGLAND, " indicating who manufactured these specialized freighter planes used for such services.
