The Bristol Superfreighter was a larger stretched version of the Bristol Freighter still using two propeller engines. It could carry 20 passengers instead of the 12 of the smaller Freighter and three cars instead of two in its air ferry role. The Superfreighter was distinguishable from the earlier Freighter by having a longer nose in which the extra car was carried and a fin fillet as well as rounded wingtips.

but I think the SABENA Bristol Superfreighter was in it a slightly lighter shade of blue.1
for a replacement for its Bristol Superfreighter 32 car ferries, which transported cars across the English Channel.2

Made by Bristol Aeroplane Company.
