It kind of looks like a lancaster with a blown up nose! - Similar shape anyway:

When Wing Commander Taffy Powel set up Silver City, (named after a silver mine in Broken Hill, Australia), he opened a fascinating and innovative new chapter in British aviation.

A keen and impatient traveler himself, Powel realised that by converting a Lancaster bomber, he could fly passengers, and their cars, to Europe. This would allow holiday-makers to avoid the lengthy wait for the ferry. So on the 7th of July 1948, Powel made the first ever British flight with a car, from Lympne to Le Touquet.

The service was a resounding success. Once it all took off however, it became apparent that another, more suitable location would have to be found. So Silver City relocated to Lydd, where the first new post-war airport in the UK was built, in under six months, and £400,000. The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the airport on the 5th April, 1956, and few know that on his outward journey to Le Touquet he exported two cars!

For the very reasonable amount of £25 for a car, and £4 for each passenger, one could fly to the continent between seven thirty in the morning and eleven at night. Between 1953 and 1957 137,000 cars and half a million passengers flew with Silver City out of Lydd. In 1962, however, Silver City was taken over by British United Airways. The last Bristol freighter flew from Lydd in 1970, and the last car in 1971.
