Airplane crazy face! Traffic in Southampton came to a standstill as a jet was transported through the city on the back of a lorry

Beautiful photos show a jet being transported through a city centre.

Needless to say, it left viewers stunned.

The front half of BAC 1-11 was dragged through the streets of Southampton on its way to the Solent Sky Museum there after it was saved from demolition.

Traffic came to a brief standstill as the truck carrying it drove through streets never intended to accommodate an airplane.

The aircraft was built in Hurn near Bournemouth in 1981 and was previously on display at the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre.

In 1991 it joined the Defense Research Agency and took part in radar trials at Boscombe Down, Farnborough and Bedford before making its final flight on 26 April 2013.

It was threatened with demolition after the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Center attraction closed in October last year.

Instead, it was bought by Solent Sky, which plans to display the front 18 meters of the hull on the forecourt at the Albert Road South site.

The 18 meter hull now needs to be modified to allow wheelchair access to the cabin with the cafe at the rear.

In late October, a 3.7 inch anti-aircraft gun had to be removed to make way for the new sight.

The BAC 1-11 (sometimes spelled One-Eleven) was introduced by British United Airways in 1965 and manufactured by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC).

The BAC 1-11 has been flown by airlines such as Kuwait Airways, Aer Lingus, Central African Airways and Western Airlines, as well as by the militaries of countries such as Australia, Oman, the Philippines and the United Kingdom.
