Bridge
yes Coff we had schemes for dropping The Air Portable Ferry Bridge on several MSPs. I saw them rigged and some elements dropped during the trials at JATE. I don't recall 47 ever dropping one in training. They mainly used cast vehicles or ballast loads of rubber blocks or tins of gravel.
As AA62 will have previously noted the mix of loads on any aircraft was complex. I think to drop one Bridge would have taken half the available fleet at a time when other things may have been going on. Dropping tons of 105 using AGE to the gun line would probably have been more of a priority. Rigging AGE was a pain. This is one area where the J would have been superior.
