The mainplanes and fuselages (including the centre section) were moved seperately on low loaders. On my way to Gliding School at Sealand on Sundays in the mid-late '60s, it was normal to see a Nimrod fuselage travelling along the A556 in the opposite direction as a "wide load". I never saw mainplanes as they must have moved at different times/days.
Moving the jigs and building the big bits at Chadderon would have been interesting as DH built aeroplanes differently to AVRO. Chadderton made great use of Fairey envelope jigs but I believe that they were alien to Hatfield and Hawarden.
