To put Richards comments into perspective,The army left behind;
2472 artillery pieces,
20,548 motorcycles,
and 63,879 vehicles
This info from Richard Colliers book, The Sands Of Dunkirk
If every vehicle (not including the guns and motorbikes was 2 meters wide,(my carrier is 1.9m wide) and they were parked side by side, touching. The line of vehicles would be 127.75 kilometers long.
