Why was Delta Golf cut up?
DG spent the last 20 or so years in storage at Filton near Bristol. As she was no longer airworthy moving her to Brooklands had to be done by road. The Highways Agency has regulations on the maximum size of any load being transported on British roads and to comply with these the only option was to cut DG into 5 sections. Aside from this DG would not have fitted along some of the narrow roads at either end of the journey from Filton to Brooklands if she had been left in one piece.
