Cargo Plane Change-Over

After giving many years of service, the N.A.C. Freightair planes, the DC3's, have been replaced by Bristols.

With much easier loading access through its hinged doors at the nose of the plane the aircraft gives a much quicker freight handling time. This means goods can be handled in bulk with a fork lift instead of being dealt with separately as previously.
