Imagine trying to transport that, stripping it to manageable sections I presume?
Then what would you do with it? Another museum would be safest.

Yep there are companies around who could do just that, dismantle it into manageable(ish) chunks then transport by road ... at a cost. If I had the space and money ....

Might have had room for a Vauxhall Victor but this is a whole different ball game. You're going to need a hell of a garage to fit that in....

In 2015 I was at Cosford when a VC10, or rather a significant chunk of it, made its somewhat un-glamorous arrival on the back of a low-loader.

Anyway of saving it will be good, having a high profile person interested also highlights the plight in the press etc.
