When I lived in very rural Oxfordshire, you'd have the local farmers running over anyone who dared attempt to beat them to the fresh road kill. Monkjack Deer appeared on the menu quite often at the pub I managed ;)

I assume on its way to Bruntingthorpe.

On the back of a RAF Low Loader nose section of a Lightning, just went passed my house in the pouring rain.
Sunday 03/10/2010 0915hrs. Wigston, A5199.
I would have thought they could have at least covered it with a tarp.
