On arrival at Le Touquet the cars were offloaded by Silver City staff and parked beside the terminal for collection by their owners. Le Touquet had been an active Luftwaffe fighter base during the war until 1944, when Rommel had a number of airfields disabled as a result of his (well-founded) concern that an Allied invasion of the French coast was imminent.

Именно в Великобритании Freighter "нашел себя" в роли, соответствовавшей его названию. В 1948 году G-AGVC модифицировали для перевозки двух семейных автомашин в грузовом отсеке и 15 пассажиров - в отдельной кабине сзади. 13 июля он выполнил первый 25-минутный полет из Лимпне в Ле-Туке, дав начало долгой эксплуатации в качестве "воздушного парома" через Ла-Манш.
