Simple stuff, like having the correct screwdrivers, help. I'm with you.

This is truly painful to watch. I spent 3 years on the RAF team that does this every day. That manual they show in the beginning is called an AP. there are several volumes, one of which will contain precise screw by screw bolt by bolt instructions to dismantle the entire aircraft (for major servicing). There are also full drawings for the proper lifting slings and road transport jigs. That wing was so badly slung, it's a surprise no-one was hurt. Normally there is a flat removal sling, and then a different one for the lift to the transport frame. Also, for the removal of screws, there is a tool called a "Grolley Bar" that can be made by any engineering works, any experienced historic aircraft engineer will already have one in the toolbox. All of the necessary documentation and manuals for dismantling and re-assembly is held in the archives of the RAF museum at both Cosford and Hendon, and they'd be more than happy to share copies of the relevant pages, none of which would still be classified. They will also be necessary to have and follow for the Airworthiness certificate. There are loads of us still around out there who know how to do this stuff properly, I'm surprised no-one hired one as a transport advisor.

You clean out the slot, you smack an impact screwdriver into it to break it loose and you take it out by hand.

At 9:20 + "Oh they have to drain the highly flammable jet fuel" - well jet fuel kerosene, in the liquid form is not particularly flammable at all.

At 14:16 the fuel has miraculously turned into petrol. Fred Karno's army at it's best. So very pleased that I worked with trained engineers at Wildenrath & Watton.

One of the few British planes the USA bought. I worked at ST Athan where we did complete refurbs of Canberras for re-sale, wings off, tail of fuselage split into three all worn parts replaced all cabling replaced. Then airborne again.

I watched 51 seconds of this and I saw how they were being so brutal with the plane and not very gentle in just the small clips that I saw it pains my heart to see people do that to such a vintage plane you have to have proper tools proper expertise and proper equipment I have no aircraft engineer experience hell I'm barely qualified to say that I am a mechanic in any way but it just breaks my heart to see people try to do stuff when they clearly do not know what the hell they are doing they probably just ruined this airframe

It's a lot of fun moving large aircraft by roads. Years ago I had to move a C-130A from Griffiths AFB to a test site near Stockbridge NY, about 30 miles. We took the outer wings and the vertical stabilizer off and planned to tow it on its wheels. We had planned six hours and it took just over 12 hours to move it. Of course it took two more days to replace signs, light posts, and remove tree branches, brush and trees we had to cut. The only problems we really had was having to lift power and phone lines up to clear the plane and we hit a spot where the edge of the wing would not clear a row of trees because the plane was too heavy for the shoulder of the road. We were trying to figure out were to get steel plates to beef up the road when the owner came by and said he never did like those trees and told us to cut them down! We sure drew crowds because you don't see C-130s going down two lane country roads very often. That C-130 became part of the USAF Upside Down Airforce and became multiple versions of E, H, and J models for antenna pattern measurements. The site is now closed and I don't know what happened to that aircraft along with the B-52 that was at Stockbridge. That C-130 saved my program over a million dollars in flight test costs over the cost to move and install it. Many other programs used it over the years it was active.

I've reluctantly given a dislike because an aircraft of such note does not deserve to be treated in such a crude and amateur way. Apart from the misuse of and inappropriate selection of tools, the failure to drain fluids, take basic fire precautions or to tag and record components as they are dismantled, speaks volumes. Phil Shaw must be wincing to see this. Good that Mike Collett is securing the aircraft's future but it doesn't make comfortable viewing to anyone with an aviation background. Good to see WE569, which we operated from Bassingbourn, former home of the Canberra,

The distance between Coventry and Newquay is 248 miles NOT over 400km, we use Imperial measure in the UK for road distances.

How cool.. i live here in Australia and there is a air museum called hars meseum and im pretty sure they have a Canberra bomber that was part of the raaf.

I was actually 3m from this actual Canberra this afternoon. Magic.

When they say only 3 left flying, do they mean just British built or are they including Martin built B-57s - because NASA has two flying B-57s that they use for high altitude research and tracking of test flights and spacecraft rentry (these are the reconnaissance versions with the really big wing)

I notice that they had some of the manuals, pity they couldn't get the ones that show how to do these tricky jobs. Unfortunately, the first things that are "thrown" away after an aircraft is retired from service are all the maintenance support equipment ie. lifting frames, jacks, dollies, connecting pieces and specialist tools. They would have made the job heaps easier and I guess, a heap less dramatic.

so much dramatization for a simple move

Prior to it closing, the old Woolwich Arsenal had a Canberra gate guardian. When the site was bought for redevelopment, the old historic buildings to be converted to expensive apartments, a mate of mine was one of the last MOD people working on site. One day he saw a JCB lining up to attack the plane with it’s back hoe and asked the driver what he was doing. Apparently he had orders from the developer’s site manager to smash the bomber up for scrap, which he sadly did and the wreckage was carted off. A week later, two RAF officers turned up at the site office with a couple of big trucks and asked where the RAF’s Canberra bomber was, that they were due to collect! Turned out the airframe was still owned by the RAF and had several thousand useful hours left on it, and was worth several £million. This made quite a dent in the developer’s profits from the Arsenal redevelopment.

Guess you can nip down to repco or super cheap and get new wing bolts... At least spin the nuts on so you dont destroy the threads... Hey what do I know I'm only a car restoration specialist
