Wide Load 30/7/2019

Post by Alfie » Mon Jul 29, 2019 1:37 pm

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, or even if it is something that should be posted. On a local news site they are warning of a wide load tomorrow the 30th on the A37 & A303. It states the wide load is leaving Lysander Road yeovil heading out on the A37 then onto the A303 towards Wiltshire. As Lysander Road Yeovil is the home of Leonardo (Westlands) Helicopters, I've put 2 + 2 together and it may involve a movement of a helicopter or I may have made 5 and it is not connected with Leonardos at all.

Would guess it's going to Boscombe Down eh? :ninja: Having the Crowsnest folding gizmo on the side suggests a little Ground-based MOD. test & evaluation approval to me. :whistle:

In case anyone was wondering, there is an article about the Crowsnest here:- https://www.savetheroyalnavy.org/maiden ... n-the-sky/
Also contains a link to an earlier article.
A very interesting magazine about the Navy
