Look at Life Vol 01 Transport The Car Has Wings 1963

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Amazing to see this, in 1968 we won a return trip prize to fly our 1928 Rolls - Royce to Bruges from Southend Airport in a Bristol Air Freighter as shown ( British Air Ferries ), only one other car was allowed, it was a terrifying experience driving onto the lift which in our case we were allowed to do .2 years later we travelled on the SRN-4 hovercraft.We still have the car after 55 years now 92 years old , she has travelled by air , sea and skimmed over it !.

So it will exist after you turn into a collection of bone and dust? Truly remarkable

[@46danz]

Great to see some of these now vintage machines.

[@taffwob]

It's odd looking at it now. Seeing this sort of thing as a youngster was really cool and cutting edge. It looks so archaic and frankly terrifying now.

[@SE10GREENWICH]

Nice to see the "Woolwich navy" in action.

[@chubeye1187]

Britain pioneered air car travel, the rest of the world put car rentals at the airport.

Love these videos

[@BokorRider]

the train fare and some of the water ferries prices seem quite high considering wages in those days ...the plane seems a bargain!

@Nicholas Mohammad Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@dannyhugh1670]

[@nicholasmohammad6961]

£100 to Switzerland! That fella with the Mk10 Jaguar will be out of luck, no way his car will fit on that plane.

[@timpriddy349]

Anglias all over

[@fuccasound3897]

Yeah but it's that TR4 that catches the eye....

[@chunkybuster7203]

3:02 Cars are £20 return, that's cheap said the man. Passengers are extra, the bloke asked how much? £30 each said the ticket man! What? Bollocks to that, just take the car!

[@johnathandaviddunster38]

I WAS ABOUT 10YEARS OLD TOOK THE SOUTHEND CAR PLANE WITH A SKY BLUE STACKED HEADLIGHT MERCEDES 280S TO HOLLAND OR BELGIUM THE PLANE SHOOK LIKE A CAN OF PEBBLES ALL THE WAY !! DIDN'T DO THAT AGAIN!!!

[@normanmunns4743]

Surely the practice of air ferries must have been quite dangerous Supposing a car had a fuel leak or even worse a fire caused by dodgy wiring Were they checked before take off? No way would this be allowed today

[@CaseyJonesNumber1]

You could probably say the same for ferries or hovercraft, which each carry (or carried, in the latter case) a lot more cars than a plane could ever do. Probably easier to tackle a fire on a ferry or hovercraft, but I expect the cars were not unattended on the flights.

The car might be a thing of the past soon. Take a look at Ehang. 🍉🍉
