Bridge class is also use for temporary bridging (not sure about MGB or bailey) to record daily tonnage for servicing, for example on the Leopard AVLB it had a total usable tonnage of 2000tons at up to 50ton at a time (from memory) so the AVLB crew could add up the bridge classes of the vehicles crossing. Once the usable tonnage was reached the bridge could be serviced, inspected or replaced. We would start at 2000 and count down.

Trailer
The trailer is indeed from 111 Bty 16 AD Regt based at Woodside in SA. The trailer was used by the Missile Resupply Sergeant (M.R.S.) from Alpha (A) Troop as part of the Battery Quartermaster (BQMS).
He was basically the guy that drove around the countryside resupplying the missile dets with stores, fuel rations & of course missiles. It was towed behind a Mog

Thanks to all concerned with finalising the service history of this trailer. It shows the importance of finding all those old markings, although in this case they were clearly visible. I do now wonder what is hidden under these ones in the lower strata of paint....
I doubt I could ever bring myself to repaint it to match the Humber, too much history in it's own right. Rich.
