Silver City Airways’ Vickers Vanguard 952F livery recreates G-AYLD as it flew during the short-lived 1973 freight revival, with authentic period markings and airline identity for classic UK cargo routes. Built for FS2004, it requires the FSDS Vanguard model by Rick Piper and adds a historically grounded repaint to the fleet.
On return from lease with Air Trader of Sweden G-AYLD found itself again without immediate placement so Air Holdings set about using the machine again. This time the name Silver City was resurrected. Air Holdings owned the name as it was owner of British Air Ferries who had acquired the name in the merger that formed British United Air Ferries. The days of mass Bristol Freighter flights was not to be repeated as the lone Vickers Vanguard plodded about from February to November 1973. It was to be joined by G-AYFN which was delivered in March but did not enter service as it was needed for lease to a re-financed Invicta. That aircraft's place was to be taken by a BEA aircraft on lease but that machine was not delivered and toward the end of the year it was decided not to continue flying. Silver City quietly faded away again, but this time it was for ever. Requires the FSDS Vanguard model by Rick Piper. By Garry Russell.
