As a follow on to the bridging post that showed the Kapok Assault Bridge for use over streams and small rivers.

British science made some dreadful bloopers when they were give free reign to design during WWII. Some such as P.L.U.T.O. worked well, others such as “Kapoc Landing Stage MkI” and “Giant Panjandrum” didn’t!

    The great Panjandrum once had a starring role in Dad’s Army- one of my favourite episodes
