Air Charter B170 to Berlin
If anyone has any photos I would be pleased to show them here, please drop me a line anytime email
Air Charter was also a vehicle ferry operator, and they also flew Freighters and Yorks in the 2nd Berlin Airlift. Below we have a series of photos from the autumn of 1955, with Bristol Freighter G-ANMF.
The pictures were taken at Hannover on 20th September 1955. We were on a turnround, having brought freight in from Tempelhof. At that time, Air Charter's crews were based in Berlin, taking freight out to Hamburg and Hannover and also operating a DC 4 for BEA on their passenger routes to the same destinations.
The young lady in the photos is thought to be a German speaker incase of the need to speak German to the air traffic control or possibly a friend of the crew when hitching a ride was possible.
The crew were Captain Goff Bowles and Captain John Moss
