Amazing pictures show a jetliner being transported through a city centre.

Needless to say, it left onlookers bemused.

The front half of the BAC 1-11 was hauled through the streets of Southampton on its way to the city's Solent Sky Museum after it was saved from being scrapped.

Traffic was briefly stopped as the truck transporting it negotiated streets that were never designed to accommodate an airliner.

The plane was built at Hurn near Bournemouth in 1981 and used to be on display at Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre.
