An air ferry is a service in which cars are transported by plane. The air ferry service was inaugurated by retired Royal Air Force officer Air Commodore Griffith J. (‘Taffy’) Powell, who founded an airline company called Silver City in 1948. They used Bristol 170 airplanes and operated until 1954 from Lympne airfield, and later Lydd airport. The ultimate purpose built air-ferry was the Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair. See the extensive Wikipedia Carvair listing
