Like VR-NAA, this aircraft had a brief history with Central African Airways of Rhodesia before going to West African Airways Corporation in 1949. A 1000 m airstrip opened at Maiduguri in 1950. The photographer was on a trip to Khartoum. See photo 635076 for a clear view of the tailfin. WAAC offered cheap passenger flights with its Freighter fleet. VR-NAD crashed on a flight between Enugu and Calabar on 5 February 1955 due to structural failure of the left wing. All 13 on board lost their lives.

Former Pakistan Air Force and SAFE Air - Straits Air Freight Express Bristol Freighter was bought by Trans - Provincial Airlines in 1989 to service the Snip Gold mine in and out of Bronson Creek, BC. The aircraft was bought by Hawkair Aviation in 1994 after TPA's bankruptcy in 1993. On April 24, 1997 C-FTPA ground looped on landing at Bronson Creek, collapsing the right main gear and crushing the fuselage when it went into a ditch. Serviceable parts were removed and the remains buried on site.

The Canadian Air Force acquired six Bristol Freighters during 1951 - 57. Based in Europe, the aircraft provided heavy transport among Canada's four NATO bases in France and Germany. The type was retired in 1967 and Wardair bought the four remaining aircraft including spares. CF-WAE (former RCAF 9699) was sold in 1975 and leased to Norcanair. It was donated to the Western Canada Aviation Museum in 1983 and is pictured outside the renamed Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada.
