Can anyone comment if they have seen similar. I have no idea what kind of transporters he referred to

    At 4:00 after watching several vehicles travelling in one direction, then seeing the others going the opposite way, I just had to laugh because it reminded me of when I was in Germany in the sixties on an exercise. We had packets of trucks all meant to be going to the same location, but once we got into Frankfurt there were trucks going every which way at junctions with seemingly no one having a clue who was doing it right( me included).

The army is small, but incredibly well equipped. The navy, is constantly getting new ships, unlike other navies, the Royal Navy does not have 50+ year old ships.

      Correct we need a very large increase in defence spending. It needs to be around 4%. The RN has around 19 'warships' . Many of these are not available as they need maintenance. It needs to be substantially more. We can do that with a tax increase ring fenced for defence. Reviewed at the end of ever parliament, applied to everyone above average wages. In addition we also need a Swedish style national lottery for conscription.

    Mmmmm I knew a guy who watched SOME of the convoys going down to Weymouth and Portland to embark for D Day. He counted 850 tanks and tracked vehicles, he gave up trying to count trucks. There were more going through the night but he was called in for bed. The Canadians built “Canada” bridge near Lydlynch in Dorset as a temporary measure, as the little stone bridge next to it was a tiny hump back affair and a bottle neck. That temporary bridge is still there doing great work.

    • @CobraEmergency
      @CobraEmergency  Рік тому +3

      Is that over the River Lydden on the A357 by any chance? There's a lot of 'temporary' bridges that ended up becoming permanent. It is always fascinating how good quality engineering built in desperate times still lasts.

    • @MrTreacletime
      @MrTreacletime Рік тому

      Yes indeed it is. I worked with a guy now sadly gone who watched the Canadians build the bridge in a field, that night he scratched his name in the paint on the top! Next day it was hauled over the river by means of pulley and finished. The only thing they had problems with were the timbers over the river were found to be rotted out when it was resurfaced. Then there was a kerfuffle as I think pressure treated creosote Oak was required. Difficult to get in a hurry, and an environmental nightmare over a river! My mate went on to bump into Richard Nixon who got lost in Hong Kong Kai Tak enroute to Vietnam, but he said that was nothing compared to being back in Lydlynch earlier in the war when looking up at aircraft noise one night he saw a Beaufighter take out an He111 which he said dropped like a stone in flames onto a cottage in the village. @@CobraEmergency

      Appreciate it! The vehicle doors were closed each time as I walked up to film from the parking laybys.

      I don't want to risk my door getting taken off by an armoured truck!

    Why are the 30 wheelers carrying the 6 wheelers? I saw 1 being recovered presumed broken but surely the others aren't broke? I get the howitzer being transported but not the mastiffs? Any ideas folks? Seems a waste of fuel/resources unless the whole unit is being relocated to another base? Also, are them American supplied oshcosh trucks?

    • @George-dx2sd
      @George-dx2sd 9 місяців тому

      Probably to save road mileage . And Yes it's a thing !! Vehicles are generally moved on low loaders for any longer moves. They may also being taken to Workshops for modification programmes etc. It's just easier. We used to move tracked whole units by rail when in Germany back in the 80's .
