Looks like that plane was over-loaded! Barely able to clear the runway.

They were built as an air ferry to transport cars and passengers across the English Channel.

This is so ugly. It has to be British. In fact, now when I looked it up, it actually is British :-D.

Flying the Bristol Freighter Mk.31 Trans-Provincial Airlines DVD Preview PART 1by AirlineHobbycomDVDs3,898 views
Im no aircraft expert,but Ive got photos of them before conversion to the ATL Carvair,and they looked like a regular aeroplane. I believe it was Ansett Australia that had them converted for hauling freight. A couple of these planes ended up in New Zealand during the eighties hauling cars for Nationwide Air (part of the Car Haulaways group),but after a few problems with the Govt. of the day they went into receivership,sold,and one of them crashed in Alaska,I heard it was hauling fuel to the mines

@TravellinOn2010 Yes, the Carvair was a conversion of the DC-4, done by Aviation Traders Engineering Ltd in England in the 1960s. I think the one that crashed in Alaska was this aircraft.

that is the ugliest plane i've ever seen - do they use them anymore?
greengoblin200 2 years ago
This one later crashed and only one or two now survive. I don't think either are flying, but I could be wrong.
