I also recall a Viking that had been repaired but had 'grown' during the process to the point that the tail dolly would not fit.
Yes, I've flown that one a few times , it was a "tail plane removal specialist" aka plonkers ( yes, there were the odd ones !) that must have crashed it, and yes it did have a large outside diameter rear fuselage requiring a "one off" special tail dolly. Another of my nine lives used up then flying something repaired with a Holts Fibreglass repair kit from Halfords !
