As far as I know it does not transport the A380 wings as they are far too big and have to be transported by barge instead.
Correct, the A380 wings are road transported to Mostyn docks on the Dee estuary and from there shipped to France...They're too big even for the Beluga!
If anyone is interested in seeing the Belugas they are at Broughton (Hawarden Airport) most days I think (easy access from A55), and hop over to Liverpool to refuel as the runway at Broughton is too short for take off on a full fuel load, so I'm told...
