Ship carrying bits of planes

[John Arton]

JAE's last quiz concerned the ship that carries the Airbus wings down from the factory to Mostyn?
I shold have spotted it but the bridge threw me.
Reason I should have spotted it is because I was anchored a few hundred yards away from the ship that brought the wing carrying vessel into the Mersey.
It had been built in sections elsewhere (Holland?) and then transported around and the sections then joined together in I believe Cammell Lairds or possibly Birkenhead dry docks.
Memory a bit dim but I seem to recall they had trouble getting the sections off due to a gale, the off load took some considerable time if i am correct.

A very interesting concept, as is also the barge.

She was completed in March 2004 by Odys,Gdansk,Poland.
And the fore & aft sections were joined by McTay Marine,Bromborough.,Wirral.
