A team of British engineers attempt to haul two historic A4 Pacific steam locomotives - each worth more than £2 million - more than five thousand miles across the Atlantic to the National Railway Museum in York.
The A4 Pacific locomotive smashed the rail world speed record in 1938, thundering to over 126 miles an hour. To celebrate this record’s 75th anniversary the museum is shipping all the surviving A4 Pacifics to the UK for display. For specialist train trucker Andrew Goodman and his crew, this transatlantic train trek is their toughest challenge yet. The locomotives are no longer able to run under their own steam and need loading onto freight trains where there’s the constant risk these massive but fragile machines could disintegrate. Will the team haul the engines to the docks in time to load them onto their ship back to Britain?

A team of British engineers attempts to move a historic Canberra jet bomber over 400km from Coventry to Newquay, Cornwall, for a private collector. The vintage aircraft is in no condition to fly and consequently must travel by truck. Too large to be moved in one piece, the Canberra must be dismantled and reassembled at its destination.

An expert team of heavy haulers attempts to transport a massive First World War artillery gun 400 miles from the Royal Artillery in Wiltshire to a museum in Utrecht, Holland. This rare 200-ton gun was designed to be moved around the Western Front on railway tracks. But, for this move, the team has no option but to travel by road and sea.

In the final episode of the series,we follow the engineers preparing the world's most advanced search-and-rescue helicopter for a trip on the world's largest airplane from New York State to its new base in Scotland.
Search-and-rescue helicopter pilot Ben Clark patrols the North Sea from a base on the Shetland Islands and has one of the most demanding jobs in the country. To give Ben and his team the best chance of being able to do their jobs, two new SikorskyS-92 helicopters, the ultimate search-and-rescue machines, have been ordered. Each aircraft costs £20million and is built at the Sikorsky factory in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. The S-92 has a top speed of 190 miles per hour and a range of 775 nautical miles. It has two auto-pilots, two stabilisation systems and the ability to fly in freezing conditions. It is the most advanced search-and-rescue helicopter of its kind and it tops any coastguard's wish list.
But, now that it is built, it needs delivering. It is more than 3,300 miles from Coatesville to Sumburgh on the Shetland Islands. It is too far for the chopper to fly and the journey by sea would take weeks. So the S-92 is delivered in the hull of an Antinov 124, the world’s largest production aircraft.
The S-92 takes its maiden flight to Stewart International Airport in upstate New York, where a team of dedicated engineers is ready to take it apart,wrap and pack it for its trip across the Atlantic. The guys have just six hours to take the S-92's blades off and put them in a box. They must be removed without a scratch as any damage could be fatal when the aircraft is flying. The four main blades alone are worth over £1 million. The radio receivers and tail blades also need to be removed and cased.
To combat turbulence on the flight, the team use 20 chains to keep the helicopter in place. At Glasgow's Prestwick Airport the whole process will have to be reversed and the Sikorsky's blades replaced. Can the team ensure that this remarkable machine continues
