Needs to go by land (possibly crated) as air would be far too expensive and it would not fit in the hold hatch on most aircraft.



You may well find it worth foam packing to avoid movement and damage andy electrics and fuel would need to be removed



You would need to find out about duty etc. Although it is old I do not know if it might have exemption as vintage you need to talk to customs etc. on this point.



As far as the land shipment is concerned when you have a weight / and dimmensions I am we can get a freight price for you.
