BIG BRITISH CARGO AIRCRAFT UNLOADS AT HAREWOOD.—A motor-car leaving the hold of the Merchant Venturer, one of Britain's first post-war cargo aircraft, at Harewood aerodrome yesterday. Built specially for the carriage of freight, the plane sacrifices appearance for utility. It is bulky and squat, and has large doors in the nose for easy handling of cargo. It can carry nearly five tons of freight and there is accommodation for 16 passengers.
