The bloke with the pinch bar doesn't seem to be too sure of his best technique.....
Anyone else reminded of Grommet and his box of spare rails?

Hello 52D,
It's 'Rocket', and I think it's being moved between two sections of the Science Museum in South Kensington via the surrounding streets. I wonder how they got round corners?
