Default I read that US and UK built Bailey don't match, shame.

I think I have a source for pins, but just need to find some clamps, and we may do it as a 3 bay with launching nose of 1 bay, just to show how they were launched.

Later if I get the other bits, it will be done as a full 4 bay with ramps and deck. Typically I have left things till the last moment, but that will make the building more realistic!

At last resort I will get the pins made locally, and may have to do the same with clamps. I note that the clamps are only there to locate the transoms and stabilise them from turning over; it's the bottom chord of the panel that carries the load from the deck and transom.

ps I am due a trip up the coast, so will get some pics of the Bailey there.
