Moving an Airbus A380 wing #2
The A380 wing is moving off the public road onto the specially constructed road across the field to the barge dock on the River Dee. The specially constructed transporter vehicle moves at a good walking pace so the public road is closed for as short a time as possible.
Airbus Industrie A380 wings
The Airbus Industrie A380 is so large that individual parts are built all over the world. Link
Improved_A380-800 The wings are built at the Broughton factory and have to be transported to Toulouse by water. One A380 wing at a time is transported on a special vehicle the short distance from the factory to the barge quay on the River Dee. Once loaded onto the barge it will then travel to Mostyn to be loaded onto a ship for the final journey to Toulouse.
