Had to suffer listening to the commentary for this Edingburgh Troop of the Parachute Engineers (Territorial) construct Bailey bridge to car parking for Rugby International at Murrayfield. -- Last edit: 2014-05-28 14:30:10

I still can't tell whether that Wolseley is a 4/50 or a 6/80. -- Last edit: 2014-05-28 14:33:51
