Was that the old Bridge or the new Bridge, Kit?

The old bridge.

The reason we were there was to see if it could be saved after the fire, but as it had sunk over 3 feet at mid span because it got so hot its own weight (11000 tons per tube!) pulled it down, it was unable to be repaired. The only parts of the old bridge remaining are the piers and the abutments.

I could go on and on about that Bridge..... :)

Here's a piccie of me standing inside the last remaining section of the old bridge, taken by Mrs_PR19 last year.

Do you take that hi-viz coat everywhere just in case an opportunity to wear it crops up Kit ?  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hehehe, it does seem like it, doesn't it?

The truth is that it lives in my car and it's my handiest warm jacket when it gets chilly. And the week we spent in N Wales was FREEZING!

Rather good set of photos here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-24672979

Outstanding stuff there, but they have the opportunities whereas mere mortals don't.

My favourites are the sunset, and the first one with the "hot start" exhaust fire.

Plenty of them could have been taken by a civvie in the right place at the right time. OK, most people don't have the resources for air-to-airs, but most of the rest could have been done at an airshow or over the fence at Waddington.

Wow...that's a great photo ! Thanks for sharing it. Love the way the bug blends in, and the weapons load ( looks like some funky SDB under the wing  :thumbsup: ) and the yellow tail markings....
