Folks
still doing my filing, and thought you might enjoy this Avro Anson fuselage “recovery” picture.
(again sorry, no side scans available on this one!!)
which goes to prove that old lesson learnt in the middle of most recoveries,
– that a 42′ aeroplane wont fit on a 12′ trailer! (or will it? 😉 )
This one is the fuselage frame of RAAF Mark 1/GR1 Avro Anson EG426 currently in storage for an Australian Museum.

Vicky,
yes it was a tight fit but I “squeezed” it on :D,
(usually the “size” problem occurs when you think the thing “should” fit on the trailer,and it doesnt!, rather than thinking it wont fit, and it will!, but I guess in this case it has proven that old myth true that “size doesnt matter”)
I had’nt realised I had a better shot of it! below

Have to disagree Mark, I think your photo proves it does fit! 🙂

not much to hold you up there either, it sways its tail around corners, but maybe thats because the metal is bit thinner? these days!
