One of the more extraordinary operations of the Spanish charter carriers into the UK was cargo flights of early season Canary Islands potatoes, which were harvested some weeks before Jersey came into the market, seats would be removed and the boxes tied down on the main deck as well as in the holds. It was a low season supplement to passenger operation. Air Spain did it with their initial Britannias, as well as the DC8, and Transeuropa used their unusual main cargo door-equipped Caravelle 11R Combis. You have to admit that a potatoes-carrying Caravelle is a real oddball.
