  • @ricjuk what a story to tell the kids!!!

  • @Mathew9714 No prob! :D

  • @Mathew9714 There was a sort-of flat roof on the tubes (which was timber, felt etc supported by metal straps), which was a continuous span (even through the towers). That's what actually caught fire and fuelled it.

    google "2d53", find "Main Line Railways of North Wales". That's got a menu, look for Britannia Bridge

  • @sapper8sqn Thanks! :) That would be great!

  • @arglwyddanfradwrus I do remember as part of our work on the Bridge, I had on board a number of TV crews filming our work, however trying to find any footage has drawn a blank. If I do find anything I will let you know.

  • @sapper8sqn NO, I'm afraid not. :( It would be wonderful to locate such a video and post it here (if the video owners would be willing!)

  • @arglwyddanfradwrus

    Do you know if any video available of the work carried out by the Royal Enginners following the fire. I was the RE Tug Operator and member of 8 Field Sqn.

  • @ricjuk Bleeding heck, it was too! :-S

  • 40 years ago to the hour!

  • 40 years ago tonight...
