So there we were, driving happily along the N7 this morning, on our way to visit my brother and his family at their new home in Hopefield, when we noticed that the traffic had slowed somewhat, and there seemed to be some sort of obstruction on the road ahead, with an awful lot of blue and orange flashing lights, and plenty of cars on the wrong side of the road.

We were all a little taken aback when we spotted the cause of the hold-up. It turned out to be this rather large plane, being transported up the West Coast by truck. We toddled along behind it for several kilometres, as only a few cars were being allowed past every so often. Eventually we got close enough to get a few photos, and you can see the rest of them on the Cape Town Daily Photo Extras blog. Anyone know what kind of plane this is?
