Silver City Airways was an airline
based in the United Kingdom that operated mainly in Europe between
1946 and 1962. Unlike many airlines at the time, it was independent
of government-owned corporations; its parent company was Zinc
Corporation, an Australian company involved mainly in mining
and mineral processing. The name "Silver City" originated
as a nickname of Broken Hill, Australia – an area famed
for silver mines, including some owned by the airline's parent
company. |
