I visited RAF Luqa in Malta as a keen young lad and asked our host why there were narrow railway tracks in and out of the main hangar. The answer related to the need to shuffle aircraft (prob Shackletons at that time, maybe Stirlings, Lincolns or Lancasters earlier ?) at a diagonal angle to fit through the main doors. Is this related to the thread ? Can anyone explain background or show photos of the trolley contraption involved ? pp Happy New Year
