Great shot, such an unusual airplane, it was fun to see it fly for a while in the USA with Falcon, next to their DC-3's and DC-4 |

 A visitor from Canada posted Tue August 14, 2007:
This wonderful photo brought back childhood memories of family vacations to France. Cars went in the front and passengers in the back. Bit cramped, but just a 20 min hop to Calais. Take off from Southend and 45 mins later you’d be driving through France! |

Love the Essex backdrop to this photo. Reminds me of sitting on the beach in the 1970s as a kid and seeing a Carvair coming over low to land at Southend. Many thanks for sharing. |

A truly unique shot. It's doubtful you can find another picture even remotely like it? |

Nice picture and everything, but I still cannot get myself to like the Carvairs. |

Amaizing looking plane....I guess now the 747's shape does not looks an inovative to me anymore. |

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 12, 2007:
Lovely Shot, Lovely Story.
I used to work with some ex-ATEL guys, who all waxed lyrical about the Carvair. Great Blokes, I would love to see a Carvair end up back in the UK, |
A visitor from United States posted Thu July 12, 2007:
I remember seeing N80FA at ANC when I was a kid and thinking, "What did they do THAT for?" Now I see what a majestic conversion the Carvair is. |

Historic but ugly aircraft... |
 A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Thu July 12, 2007:
I thought it is a Boeing 747. It is look like that. Thanks for this great shot! |
A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu July 12, 2007:
To be honest, this thing is almost too ugly to have ever seen the light of day. Nevertheless it's nice to see what aviation was not too long ago. Makes you wonder why other (aeronautical) developments are going so slow. |
