Strange request this one.
We, The Blackburn Buccaneer Society, have recently confirmed, that we will be taking on Gloster Meteor NF.14 WS807 on loan fom the Jet Age Museum for static restoration.
With the Jet Age Museum really in need of friends to call on to help sort some of the aircraft out, we offered our services. Having looked over the aircraft and sorting out most of the transport issues, we are left with one 20ft x 14ft problem……..The centre section!!!!
Does anyone know of a private haulage operator/member of the family/enthusiast, who would be willing to help recover this section and transport it the Kemble.
Our main problem is that fact that all of our available funds are set to be used on the professional transportation of Buccaneer XX889 soon, so I am really looking for this to be done on the cheap (yeah, I know its cheeky, but you don’t know until you ask).
I would try and pull it with my car but I don’t fancy the chances of getting up Birdlip Hill without the Clutch burning out!!!
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
All the best – Nige.

That’s good news. t’s amazing how often, when faced with such problems, us humans look everywhere for a solution. Why does it seldom occur to us to look in our own back yard so to speak?:)

You might want to try Barry Parkhouse. he does all of B.A.M’s heavy haulage and is normally willing to negotiate on price in exchange for unwanted parts etc.
Thanks for your reply DeHavEng, I had asked Barry before and he mentioned that he has too much on, so I will not bug him again.
Luckily though, I have managed to sort out the problem as I had the answer within our Society Membership.
