FLYING is the quickest form of transport, but if you have plans to travel on Valentine's Day, you might want to give yourself extra time when you find yourself sharing the road with an unexpected traveler.
This Valentine's Day the M5 and M4 will be joined by two Boeing 747 aircraft fuselages that will be making their way across the country, taking up two lanes on the motorway, and the whole of the A417 dual carriageway between Cirencester and Swindon.
The gigantic loads are set to leave Cotswold Airport at Kemble at 7am on Satruday, 14th February and will join the M4 at junction 15. Anyone travelling on the motorway should give themselves plenty of time to get to their loved ones as the plane fuselages make their way along the M4 to Bristol, where they will head up north on the M5 through to Gloucestershire, heading to a breakers in Herefordshire.
A spokesman for Wiltshire police said:
"Due to the size of these transporters they will be slow moving and will have the potential to create congestion. Wherever possible disruption will be kept to a minimum but hauliers and motorists are asked to please be patient if they come across this load.
"Anyone travelling over this period to catch a flight or meet appointments should allow sufficient additional time."
