Looking at the image, the first thing we think is a scrap metal dealer's truck taking away the remains of some old plane. But in those times everything was possible, even the opposite, as is the case of the wing of the first Spanish airplane prototype newly manufactured after the war: the HS-42. From the old La Hispano factory, located on Calle de San Jacinto, in the heart of the Triana neighborhood, the HS-42s left for Tablada aboard two trucks, the first the wings and the second the fuselage, to be reassembled in Tablada and begin their test flights. This is the first in a long series that covered an important gap in the ranks of the Air Force in the decades of the 40s and 50s.
