Queen Mary trailer

A Queen Mary trailer is a British semi-trailer combination designed for the carriage and recovery of aircraft.

Features included: Load was 5 tons "distributed evenly".

These features were a natural result of the intended load, aircraft being typically light but long.

The name is presumed to derive from its length, a reference to the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary.
