Last time the Nimrod to Cosford by road idea was mentioned on here, the little matter of access was also mentioned.....notably a hump back bridge at one end of the airfield and a low railway bridge at the other...the former, for a low loader would be nigh on impossible I would suggest...the rail bridge, well there's the little matter of the two fin spars.....a major job to remove...so it occured to me that, a little polite note to BAe may provide an answer.....lift the fuse off the load loader on the main site and plonk it on a borrowed transportation trolley..... as in the one we used to shift XV 246 in the Antonov....and which will be lower than a low loader and may just, only just I reckon, get under the bridge.

If this idea is accepted, my consultancy fee, in cash, in a plain brown envelope to a yet to be decided drop off point will be gratefully received....well one lives in hope here you understand....
