My trailer, which has been used a few times to move G-OWWW is a flat-bed
trailer 6ft 6 in wide and 14 foot long. There is approx 2 inches space on
either side, with the speed kit spats taken off. The tail overhangs of
course - indeed the main wheels are less than half-way down the trailer. The
plane faces forward.
The wings are retained on support structures which fit either side. The
front ones can stay on the trailer but the rears have to be removed before
the fuselage can be taken off.
I have come up with some scaffold plank supports to fit behind the main
wheels and use ratchet tie downs to hold the wheels from hopping sideways.
The elevators go in the tow car (one could go in the cockpit)
It is an open trailer. As the bed of the trailer is about two foot above the
ground the tip of the fin is about 8 or 9 ft above the ground.
I do not use this arrangement often. The plane is currently hangered, (with
the wings on) at High Cross which is north of Ware by the A10.
