    Personnel of No. 53 Repair and Salvage Unit use a Coles Crane to haul the fuselage of damaged Hawker Hurricane Mark IIB, BD930 'R', of No. 73 Squadron RAF onto a 'Queen Mary' trailer in the Western Desert. Following repair, BD930 saw further service with No. 335 (Hellenic) Squadron and No. 127 Squadron RAF.

    After hauling fuselage 480km out of the desert, airframe crew chief asks truck chief, "Did you haul out the wing sections too?"
    Blank stares all-round...

    This post made me do it, before some one else takes the blame.

    There was a collection of those "Queen Mary" trailers in a local to me yard in the 70's, most were being cut up for scrap as the enterprising company that had bought them cheap to haul other things hadn't done their homework on just how heavy a load they could carry ~5 Tons max.
