I saw a post earlier about crated Lancs.
I'd be very, very surprised if such things existed as they were never shipped that way at all. The parts were transported by road to a final assembly plant, and when they were being delivered to a unit they were flown there.
Similar thing with reports of crated Mossies being sent to China after the war - same thing, they were flown there, both from the UK and also Canada. A Mossie has a 1-piece wing that's 52' long, some crate
Mark.
sorry, 30 years of working and living in aviation tends to make one cynical of many 'reports'.
