Cosford One Eleven on M6 tonight

I was travelling South on the M6 near Stafford at 21.00 tonight when I noticed travelling North on a low-loader the fuselage of what appeared to be a BA BAC1-11 which I assume was the Cosford machine en route to E Fortune? This piece of motorway had no streetlights so I only caught a very brief and dull glance.

Does anybody have any pictures of the 1-11 loaded on the trailer at Cosford. Also any up to date pictures of the VC10 ?

Then we went a couple of miles away and cicled over Ian Sheffileds Harrier cockpit. NB we were always well over 500 ft.

At about 18.00 this evening a low loader with wings arrived at East Fortune with a Police escort, following along behind it was the BAC 111 fuselage. Regretably neither of us had a camera but we took off and circled over the museum site watching. Then we went a couple of miles away and cicled over Ian Sheffileds Harrier cockpit. NB we were always well over 500 ft.
