M18 Road Runing Airspeed Horsa LH291

[Tiger 1]

Hi everyone

At 4pm this afternoon... I passed two lowloaders carring a section a piece of the Airspeed Horsa... Serial LH291.

These were both in convoy heading up the M18 passing Junction 2 Doncaster and heading towards the M180.

Both sections had an RAF Cosford Air Show advert on the rear ends.

Hi Tiger 1

I saw them yesterday on the M69, and as I glanced at them they looked like the outer wing section of a Dak.

Thanks for the info.

RAF Cosford have put this up on their social media, has been in storage on the air field for years and now is off to Holland for display

Thanks Motley

That would explain the direction it was travelling... most likely going over by Ferry from Hull.

Thanks for the info.

I met the guy over from Holland who was arranging this. It will most likely stay in Holland after the show.

Is it the one from the Assault Glider Trust?

I had some contact with them a few years back on behalf of the museum; this link show the move of the Horsa from Shawbury to Cosford!

Will be put up for a temp display near Arnhem this summer and then move for display in the Overloon museum.
