I think that this instruction to the crane operator/driver was clear enough.

Aye the only still flying one in Europe I believe. She was doing some promo work and landed on Loch Ness with engine trouble.

Apparently couldn’t take off on just one, so was craned out the Loch. She spent six weeks or so with us while they swapped out the left engine.

Plenty to look at, and an opportunity to guess what, where, when, why, etc etc. Love this image.
