The Bristol Superfreighter was a larger, stretched version of the Bristol Freighter, still with two propeller engines. It could carry 20 passengers instead of the 12 passengers of the smaller Freighter, and three cars instead of two in its air ferry role.
The Superfreighter was distinguishable from the earlier Freighter by having a longer nose, in-which the extra car was carried, and a fin fillet as well as rounded wingtips.
