	Carvair
		In accomplishing this deed, the Carvair ATL-98 began with a Douglas C-54/DC-4 and a major facelift on the forward one-third.
		Ostensibly a long, hollow tube in which to carry oversize cargo—the planes would accept more than 18,000 pounds of goods through their hinged nose—influence by Aero Spacelines' Guppy series was apparent, but the concept and design of a separate, topside flight deck was novel, and would soon appear in the Boeing 747.
		Aviation Traders developed the Carvair in response to Channel Air Bridge's requirement for an air ferry capable of transporting passengers and their cars between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

	Oldprops Aviation Traders Carvair
		The unique Aviation Traders Carvair design emerged in the 1950s when Air Charter Ltd of Southend in the UK began to look for a replacement for its aging Bristol Freighters to use on its cross-Channel car transportation routes.
		The aircraft was named Carvair - or car-via-air - and the first conversion flew for the first time on June 21, 1961.
		BUAF operated ten Carvairs, while others were converted for Aer Lingus (3), Aviaco of Spain (3) and Compagnie Air Transport (2), the latter former Interocean Airways of Luxembourg machines with all-passenger layouts.

		Nevertheless, the plane's true identity is easily given away by the second photo where the name "Carvair" reveals it to be the Aviation Traders ATL.98 Carvair, a 1960s British cargo transport, an example of which is shown below.
		The DC-4 conversion process consisted of lengthening the fuselage, increasing the height of the vertical tail, moving the flight deck to a new cockpit bulge above the fuselage, and adding a sideways-hinging nose door for loading automobiles or cargo.
		The Carvair typically carried five cars in the forward hold and 22 passengers in the rear cabin, but up to 65 could be carried in all-passenger layout.

		Total Carvair conversions number 21, the last of which was completed in 1968.
		Although its external appearance is quite different, the Carvair is a conversion of the Douglas DC-4 airliner (or C-54 Skymaster in military guise), large numbers of which were available after World War 2.
		First flight of the Carvair conversion was on June 21 1961, the type subsequently entering service with British United Air Ferries (into which Channel Air Bridge had been merged, it later became British Air Ferries and was known as British World Airways, which ceased trading in December 2001) in March 1962.

		The fin and wings were enlarged to offset the added bulk and weight.
		Many of these piston-engined ATL98 Carvair aircraft were operated from Southend Airport[?] on short routes across the English Channel.
		The provision of such fast ferry services by large hovercraft (the SRN-4) and subsequently by Shuttle trains using the Channel Tunnel means that the age of the car carrying airliner commenced with the Bristol Freighter and concluded with the unforgettable Carvair.

		The Carvair was a DC-4 modification done by Aviation Traders in England from 1962-65.
		I gather that many of the 21 Carvairs were not actually used for channel flights but served in general cargo work.
		When a Carvair was used as a channel ferry, the 22 passenger seats were in the back, behind the cargo door, with the cars up front.

		Until the advent of the Boeing 747 the Carvair had the highest flight-deck on the British register while the aircraft itself was still groundborne.
		I once crossed the Channel on the flightdeck of a Carvair, where it was quieter and warmer than in the passenger cabin, which was squeezed behind the cardeck into the tail of the fuselage.
		On one of my last Carvair flights the trim around the door had peeled off, we could see daylight through the gap and the slipstream was rumbling its way into the cabin.

		I lived near Rotterdam Airport (Zestienhoven) then, and I saw lots of Carvairs clawing their way up in the air right after take-off and I was impressed by the sight and sound.
		For those of you not aware a softback abreviated history of the Carvair was produced a few years ago.
		As this defect could not be repaired at Rotterdam (no spare parts, no licensed mechanic), the captain decided to take-off on three engines, windmill the engine into action, landed back, shut down the three good engines and have the pax boarded quickly with the one faulty engine running, and took off again.
