Aircraft pulled through streets of Southampton

An aircraft has been pulled from the scrapheap and taken to a museum - through a city's streets.

The BAC 1-11, built in the 1960s in Christchurch, which was then in Hampshire but is now part of Dorset, was to be scrapped before Southampton's Solent Sky Museum acquired it.

The front of the plane was all the museum could save due to the size of the craft.

It was seen coming around the bend in Canute Road, Southampton, on Saturday morning before arriving - and parallel parking - at the aviation museum.

The aircraft went out of service in 2000 and had been stored in Cornwall.

The museum hope to turn it into a cafe.
