I think I mentioned to you that I had driven over a Bailey bridge in the truck very close to home...

Photo was taken by none other than Keefy...

Hello guys, I would be interested at least in the main drawings with dimensions... I asked in another thread (see here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...&postcount=165 but found this one just now.

I can provide an email address through PM of course, would be glad if anybody could help with a MkII Bailey, it seems I can only find US/Nato M1A/M2 information...

MkII Bailey

There's no such thing as a MkII Bailey bridge. There's BB (Bailey Bridge), IWBB (Improvised Widened Bailey Bridge), SWBB (Standard Widened Bailey Bridge)and EWBB (Extra Wide Bailey Bridge). There's BPB (Bailey Pontoon Bridge), BSB (Bailey Suspension Bridge), and even BDB (Bailey Deck Bridge) and BLB (Bailey Lock Bridge) but nothing called a MkII Bailey Bridge. In US parlance the various widened Bailey's were given an M classification.

Hi All

This has got to be a classic picture of a CMP and an iconic picture for Australia, it has everything a man, his truck, his dog, a normally dry creek bed full of water, what more could you add maybe a sound track?

Great photo, thanks Tony for posting it and thanks Keefy for taking it.

Cheers Phil

That looks like a Mabey Bridge rather than a BB.
