BONGO!....I mean BINGO! Correct answer Richard. Surveying the invasion beaches before D Day were but one of the duties of Engineeers. I couldn't imagine spending up to a week in a 51 1/4ft. long by 5 3/4 ft diameter tube breathing stale air, wondering if you were going to be sunk by enemy action or shot as a spy if caught by Jerry. Brave men all!
CHIMO! Derek.
