Colin, I continue to be amazed at your range of skills. Fantastic work. great to see and thank you for the details.

Tim I measured my carrier width = 6 foot 11 inches sand guard outer edge to outer edge.
So if all the vehicles lost at Dunkirk averaged the same width as a carrier, and they were parked side by side, then, with a 1 inch gap (that's allowing 7 feet per vehicle) they would form an unbroken line 84.688 miles, or 135.5 kilometers long.

I hope I've done that right.
