VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the remarkable feat of airlifting 1800 cattle across the English Channel, a testament to the versatility and capability of Bristol Freighter aircraft. The ad highlights an operation conducted during November and December by Silver City Airways, where cows were transported from Ireland to Italy. Taking off every 90 minutes with loads equivalent to eight adult cattle, these flights covered a 47-mile stage in just one day, ensuring that animals arrived faster and in better condition than traditional sea transport. This historic event not only demonstrates the logistical prowess of Bristol Freighters but also marks an innovative chapter in agricultural transportation.
