227 EL FERRY 'Flight" photographs Accompanying passengers—up to 20 in the Superfreighter, 12 in the earlier version—fly in a plain but comfortable cabin aft of the cargo hold. Passengers without vehicles also use the service. Passengers report to the new reception counter at Lympne. (Below) Some 10,000 cyclists will fly the Channel this year. Still going strong: This Bristol 170 Mk 21, one of the first to be built, has been used intensively since the ferry began. Driven by a two-stroke engine, this mobile ramp was developed jointly by Silver City and Hythe Engineering, Ltd. These vehicles form only part of a Superfreighter load. (Below) Drivers use the new filling station before departure and on return, empty. Fuel is less dear on this side of the Channel.
