Re: Photo to ID with wrack a/c
Based on this photo, I would guess the truck is carrying pontoons.

Re: Photo to ID with wrack a/c
Yes, it is. There is a larger (uncropped) view in this link where the bridge (at the bottom) is more evident (see page 10). Note there is also a pontoon bridge in the page 10 photo (which "may" relate to our previous posts).
http://www.canadianmilitaryhistory.c...Bridgehead.pdf There is a Horsa Glider ("mostly" a reconstruction) as part of the museum near the bridge today at this location: 49.243185, -0.271324. https://www.google.com/maps/place/49...9!4d-0.2713237 Some more info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0J1zsffyQo Here is the capture of the bridge from the movie "The Longest Day". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_hG8HuX3go Last edited by RSwank; 22nd June 2019 at 13:34.
