Don't forget about the UK. They've got their own brands of curious
and quirky trailers. A friend of mine had an LS4 here in the US that
somehow ended up in a British trailer. IIRC, either the fuselage or
the wings went in "backwards" resulting in a whole dance at the time
of assembly/disassembly. It wasn't a Shirenewton... maybe an
Angus-something-or-other?


Aberdeen Angus, I think - or maybe Poll Hereford. Is that the trailer
where the fuselage and wings go in from the hitch end, not the number
plate end?

Or is it the one with the door at the hitch end where the wigtips go in
first on a strop which runs in a track on the roof - until it jams
halfway in and you can't get past the wing and fuselage to disgorge it
(or whatever you need to do with jammed wheels in tracks).
