Balfour's book refers to a Silver City Airways Bristol Freighter on pg 113, also showing photographs of the first 400 shipped to Sweden in such a craft, pg 40, as well as a Beutler 406 being delivered to the UK, pg 241, in the same aircraft in 1957 (photo pg 278..
There is another reference to transporting a car to Europe for Tony Crook's 1950 Montlhery testing on pg 176.

will show you a couple of drawings of the basic aircraft.
Balfour also makes reference, pg 8, to "...Wayfarer, the passenger version of the Freighter..."
