Saw a programme on wings and fuselages being built by airbus and then driven through a small village, on the way from the factory to the airport they transported from, with literally feet to spare of taking out buildings  :laugh:

I had to write a report on that as part of my degree studies. Crazy stuff!

Did you see the planes used to carry parts? Looked like a flying sperm whale.  :driver:
