Photo Comment

Silver City's Freighter 21 has been partially repainted into RAF-style markings with serial XF662 and with G-AIME deleted from lower fin. This was necessary for flights to and through the Suez Canal Zone where only UK and French military aircraft were officially allowed at that time.
