really enjoyed those photos Clive, Can someone remind me what that bridging equipment was called?
Now for a link to some film of Bailey Bridge construction; the commentary is in Spanish or similar language but I think you willl agree that it's an interesting film: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m45CXAaHw80 Noel

Class 50/60 Raft again
Back to the Class 50/60 raft - I have recently seen some pictures of these , on thier trailers, being towed up to the Rhine and launched by Churchill AVREs.
They are in Concord Publication's "British Tanks of WW2 (part 2) on pages 52 & 53. I won't post the pictures as mine are not good quality and are not, erm, entirely legally obtained.

Clive,
Those pictures you posted were taken about 3/4 miles away from where I live ! (Anthony is a similar distance the other way), albeit probably 70 years ago. Love the Blenhiem bomber passing overhead, which could have taken off from RAF Benson or RAF Harwell. The houses in the background are still there, might be worth a before and after picture. Thanks once again Keith
