A mechanised bridge based on a T55 [T54?] tank.
The bridge mechanism swings forward and down
(towards the right of the picture)
until the foot contacts the ground.
The bridge section is raised to the vertical
at which point its two sections start to open out in a scissor action.
It is then lowered across the gap.
The bridge can be recovered from either end.
This is probably a Czech MT-55,
the GDR BLG-60 being rather similar.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
