The first aeroplane collected by Richard Shuttleworth during a trip to India in 1930 seen setting out on its overland delivery journey to the UK by M Datta and Sons Transport Ltd. Forecast arrival is sometime in July this year, having spent the last 15 months stuck on the outside lane of the Rue Periphique while under the capable command of Mr Datta's Great Great Grandson.

"This is a scientific experiment. We've calculated that the wagon exactly replicates the wings, and we are working out how many horsepower this thing needs to fly.

... Yes, it'll only go up to 4 mph and then we extrapolate."

Following a number of landing accidents, it was decided to see if a heavy-duty undercarriage would help.

early trial with a new safety device called "Alpha Floor" which basically means the aircraft can never actually hit the ground
