Evening Alex,
Yes it was a good call and we should thank Bram van Buuren for that advice 
I remember seeing photos of the C47 incident, not the way to end up.
In UK we get used to having the height displayed on a sign when approaching any "low" bridge (around 5m). A good example of not assuming everything is the same across the EU...
