THIS may or may not be that engine, but it is a neat page to see a huge engine. Nice find bry1975...

Found her some years ago and saved the photo to my facebook account will try and find the actual link later.

The largest loads I've seen in the UK would be the large wind turbine blade(can be 20metres-40metres long) and large bridge beams,RSJS, and luxury BOATS heading down to Devon/Cornwall some would be HUGE with the telescopic trailers always saw RSJS heading to S. Wales.
