Hi, a quick and urgent question!

I have an old Blackburn Cirrus Major that's now required to rescue another aircraft. The only problem is that it's in the south of France and I need to get it (at least partway!) to the UK.

I haven't moved it in a while and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it weighs - I've got all the tech info, but it's at home and I'm at work :-(

A tad more than a Cirrus Minor.

Well, I'm just back from humping the damned thing around and I can confirm that it is quite a few tads more!
