I have seen some pictures of the 'crane' which is used to lift the shuttle
(but not in operation). I can't remember where, probably on TV. It looked
like a non-moveable structure to me. Rather like a large box of girders which
totally enclosed the shuttle while lifting it What happens with the wings of
the 747 I don't know. I have some video disks from Space Archive, etc. and
NONE of them have anything on this either.

IS THIS A COVER-UP?
