And now, the second part. The plane has to take the train. So, disassembly:
The wings and horizontal tail are removed. The cockpit and engine are protected by tarpaulins. The machine gun and the propeller are dismantled and stored with the various masts and tension cables in a large wooden drum. Other tarpaulins prevent the movement of the ailerons on the wings and protect the leading edges.
It is fixed on the floor of the wagon with wooden blocks and ropes.
Note that my load is removable.
I strongly recommend this post of Loco Revue forum for airplanes transport by train all times, ideas of dio in perspective abound, sorry, in french but many pictures!
