Black and white photograph of Air Charter Limited Douglas DC-4 aircraft on wet tarmac, 1940s-1960s

Professional photograph showing an Air Charter Limited Douglas DC-4 four-engine propeller aircraft parked on a wet airport tarmac. This aircraft represents the early commercial aviation operations that preceded Sir Freddie Laker's later airline ventures, documenting the evolution of British charter aviation in the post-war period. The wet runway surface and overcast conditions are typical of British aviation photography from this era.
