Driving from Wirral today to Formby today whilst passing the container freight area I saw what appeared to be a large Bright Yellow horizontal stabiliser unit fixed onto a pallet type thing. Any idea what it is from or going to. It is clearly visible as you start to go up flyover

They are sections of Bombardier aircraft en route from their Belfast factories to Canada. Being new components they are coated in protective yellow primer. Largest component currently seems to be the complete wing for the Bombardier C-series/Airbus 220. In early May Bombardier announced its intention to sell all its Belfast factories - once Short Brothers aircraft manufacturing sites. Plenty about the sale and Bombardier component production in Belfast on a 'Google'.
