Re my post #7088 above
made one appreciate the refuelling stops where one could leave the aircraft and stretch one's legs
I went through Car Nic a few times in 1956 – 1958, refuelling was done by the locally-based Indian Air Force personnel using an RAF supplied bowser. There was no terminal as such and on arrival pax disembarked and just hung around the aircraft to stretch their legs whilst it was being refuelled, as in the photo. Once refuelled we were off again ASAP.
My only photo of Car Nic shows just this.
