File Description: Silver City Airways was registered as a British company in November 1946. It was named after a nickname of the town of Broken Hill, Australia associated with the companies owners the Zinc Corporation and commenced operations using Lancastrian aircraft. DC-3's were added to the fleet for shorter range charter flights. Initially managed and administered by British Aviation Services who eventually bought Silver City in the 50's. British Aviation Services also owned Air Kruise, Lancashire Aircraft Corporation and Manx Airlines. Some of Silver City Airlines DC-3 were transferred to Air Kruise between 1953 and 1958 and thereafter were repainted back to Silver City Airways livery. In 1962 British Aviation Services was taken over by Air Holdings, the parent company of British United Airways. By the end of 1962 all Silver City aircraft had either been repainted into British United colours or retired from service and the name ceased to be used. Over the years Silver City owned or leased over twenty DC-3's but few photos exist. This set of repaints depict seven of those aircraft. Requires default Douglas DC-3.
