David,
I think youve missed the jokey nature that the thread has taken. Having moved aircraft previously Im sure your aware it isnt an easy task, especially for an aircraft the size of a Viscount.
Im am a little unsure how you think we will be moving the majority of a Viscount with a family saloon. Trust me Saabs are bloody good cars but………………..not that good :diablo:
I can put your mind at rest and confirm that future journeys will be done without the family saloons.
The distance between us and where she presently lies isnt a huge journey, and going down as we in a number of trips allows us to do a few things which will help us in the long run.
Firstly bringing back smaller items like we did allows us to record and place them into storage at her soon to be new home. Its just us been organised. I believe its called Project management. We will have enough to do when the airframe gets here so weve decided to bring the smaller parts up now and place them into store. It will spread the work load hugely.
Secondly visiting the aircraft regularly allows us the oppurtunity to prep the aircraft in various ways. This means when the day comes to move her we are once again prepared. Meaning that we can get the low loaders in and out of Hatch quickly. Time after all is money and we dont want hauliers hanging around waiting becuase we didnt get our act together.
Lastly though (and just as importantly) if you had spent a sum of money on an aircraft wouldnt you want an excuse to go and see her?
Personally I see it as a bit of a bummer spending all that money on something and then having her so far away from home. Some how pictures just do put the same grin on my ugly mug.:(
Appreciate the Haulage company details though. Already got qoutes in from various people and have some interesting prices.
