A 1945 advert for the plane said: 'The "Bristol" Freighter is here and it is now being demonstrated in Canada.
'A new type of aircraft ideal for bush flying, air freight or passenger service.'
'Power for power it has more cargo space and carrying capacity than any other cargo aircraft.'
It said the plane was built to carry 'large payloads at low cost' and added that the creation was 'literally a freight car with wings'
A 1946 advert for the then newly-released Bristol Freighter said it was set to go on several demonstration tours across North and South America.

By 1954, main operating airline Silver City averaged an incredible 2,970 landings and take-offs per aircraft within the fleet.
This worked out at a little more than eight trips per day on every day of that year.
The plane was instantly recognisable thanks to its rounded nose doors ahead of a 'boxy' fuselage.

Released in 1946 after a successful test flight a year earlier, the Bristol Type 170 Freighter was a product of the rapid advance of technological development ushered in by the 1939-1945 conflict. The plane's success saw thousands of cross-channel flights carried out in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Until production was ceased in 1958, a total of 214 aircraft were built, including both the original version and subsequent variants, such as the larger Superfreighter, which could carry 20 passengers and three cars at any one time. The plane was also used by foreign air forces, including those of Argentina, Burma, Canada, New Zealand and Pakistan. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9973809/How-Bristol-Freighter-planes-flew-drivers-cars-France-WWII.html

Zhirinovsky: Ah!!I don't understand this. N150 million can comfortably build this house in that same Osapa London. That's like 10 yrs rent. Why would someone rent this for N15 million per annum??
Maybe I am missing something?
Someone even built something like this in Chevy view with total cost of roughly N90 - N100 million. You can use Google to check bro or visit Nigeria property center. Land/vicinity is the real thing here. N50m can erect this in my town + Land.
