Summary
| Description |
English: G-ANVR was leased from its maker by Air Charter in Mar 1955 for operations on the airline’s new cross-Channel Southend-Calais car ferry service. After delivery it was displayed outside the public enclosure with doors open and ramps in place to advertise the service locally. In those days, the metre-high wire mesh fence in the foreground was all that was thought necessary to separate the public from the aircraft. Named Valiant, G-ANVR was finally bought by Air Charter in 1957 and remained with them and successor companies Channel Air Bridge, British United Air Ferries and British Air Ferries until Mar 1971, when it was sold to Midland Air Cargo. It was withdrawn from use and stored at Baginton, Coventry, in Jan 1973 and broken-up there in Mar 1974.
