Perhaps I was mistaken but I thought I spotted the front end (doors open) of a Bristol Freighter in that film?

Hi Hobby

There were a small number of Bristol Feighters used in the lift..it was 1948-9 and the type first flew in Dec 1945

I think G-AHJB was one :think:

Video halfway down shows a little more of a Bristol 170 including Silver City titles
