Summary
| Description |
Converted from a C-54B, formerly N88709, G-ARSF was the third Carvair. It was originally intended for Southend-based Channel Airways, which announced intention of starting car-ferry services, but was not taken up. After its first flight on 28 Jun 1962, from Stansted to Southend, it was handed-over to Channel Air Bridge on 7 Jul and named ‘Pont de l’Europe’. On 28 Dec that year it undershot landing at a snow-covered Zestienhaven (Rotterdam), clipped a dyke and cartwheeled, coming to rest inverted. The pilot was killed, but other crew and the passengers all survived. Damaged beyond economic repair, the remains were shipped back to Southend in Feb 1963, then moved to Stansted and scrapped there. My photo was taken at Southend on 20 Jul 1962 and although not ‘best quality’, I have posted it because it is the only picture I have of ‘RSF and one of only a few I shot of Carvairs in CAB livery.
