A huge crane was used to lift the machinery which was to be carried to North America for an international fair. |
The aircraft had to be balanced in order to assure a smooth loading. |
The huge machinery was first delicately brought on metallic tracks before being loaded inside the aircraft. |
The steps leading to the cockpit were removed in order to give room to the cargo. The margin was only of about ten centimeters... |
The red tracks were especially brought from England for this special operation. |
