Hi
This was one of the hairy moments I felt physically sick watching the cars being lifted. I had taken all the fluids out of the cars including the battery and clutch and brake fluid, the cars were lifted by the use of spreader bars front and rear, from these were adjustable strops used to adjust the attitude once in the air.
The car was attached to a subframes by a H frame and baskets under each wheel with a ratchet tie down around each tire. The H frame had four mounting points that attached to the main structure.
On the Sunday before Goodwood they damaged the bodywork on the Gold car whilst lifting it into position, They called me in a panic and asked if I would fly down to fix it, two hours later I was airborne in one of Goodwoods Pipers over London. The repair took 24 hours working late into the Night. By 9 pm Monday the car was in position on the structure.
Regards
Chris
