OK all the bridging nuts must still have a hoilday hangover - lets see if I can wake them up with these few shots of Polish forces training in Italy (Sikorsky Museum photos from Le March in Guerra site)
first is an FBE boat being "unfolded
Second an FBE Decked Raft with FBE lorry boarding so must be a class 9 raft
Third appears to be an assault boat raft - I didn't know these existed

really enjoyed those photos Clive, Can someone remind me what that bridging equipment was called?

Now for a link to some film of Bailey Bridge construction; the commentary is in Spanish or similar language but I think you willl agree that it's an interesting film: -
