reminds me of something for Mulberry Harbour for some reason, huge blocks of concrete that were floated by Arromanches to form a harbour for landing materiel post D-Day and until more ports were secured.... from some bumf i collected last time i was there "PP5 and PP6 were smaller types designed to support the light duty roadways rated at 25 tons."

Correct...... and that's what I am building to complement our new Normandy 1944 product :-)

You can find a few outside "Le Musée du Débarquement" in Arromanches....

Cheers,

Yup, and even funnier...... some of them are still used as bridges in various places in Normandie and Bretagne !! :kilroy:

I remember the first time we holidayed in France in 1964 (I was 12), we visited Arromanches and there was still a lot of the Mulberry harbour left.

[Francois]

Yes, it is still the same. A bunch of pontoons east of the town center, part of the pier (beach end) still on the sand, and the big caissons further out. There was recently an English project done to chart all the sunken debris (concrete caissons and corncob ships). They are all still there ........
