Britain's first jet fighter hitches a lift below helicopter

Saw this in the DM,

As usual poor reporting, that's a given with this paper, however, the article is aviation related.

You're right about the reportage :D ,
but it's still interesting to see how they
chose to lift her -- I would have guessed
large slings, one under each "armpit",
with smaller lines to nose and tail.....

My hat is also off to your Chinook guys...

They're EVERYWHERE :ymapplause: !

I like to do my planning retroactively!
