Driving past Biggin Hill this morning and noticed large mechanicals in close attendance to the Gate Guards. Such activity required me to stop.
The model Spit had its right wing in a pair of slings and there was some heavy hammering coming from within the wing root with 3 or 4 workers below gazing in awe at such activity. Three pins later the wing was still not going to move despite manual and mechanical encouragement. Every encouragement seemed only to rock the whole model and the plinth.
I waited, hoping to see the wing detached, but it seemed to be defeating all attempts and it will be tomorrow soon enough.
Varying information gleaned. The haulage vehicle driver said it was going to Lincolnshire to a private buyer. One of the craneage contractors said it was going to the RAF in Lincolnshire.
As the haulage contractor's vehicle was from Newark, I think it safe to assume it is going to Lincolnshire, but apart from that what does anyone else know?
