(1) A C-46 Commando being loaded from a special lorry whose platform is raised on the lazytongs system to the high-level " goods entrance." (2) Jeeps being manoeuvred up a ramp into a York. The right-angle turn inside calls for some shunting to stow in position (3) A smaller type ot elevator truck "offering up " a pre-loaded trolley into a Dakota. |4) A normal lorry can back right up to the wide-open nose of the Bristol Freighter whose floor is at convenient height for direct handling. (5) A converted bomber like the Lan- castrian is not ideal for quick loading. The high nose compartment for smal' freight involves multiple handling. (6) The new French freighter, the Breguet 761, has obviously been designed for quick and easy handling of the bulkiest cargo.
