RECOVERY TRACKS

Gidday folks
I was just reading post number 14425 from "muddy 'doe" about recovery tracks.

These were actually known as "PSP" pressed steel plating or "PAP" pressed aluiminium plating. They actually date back to the second world war. They were used to make runways for aircraft over boggy ground. The idea of them was to link them all together and you could make them as long and as wide as you needed.

Good idea in theory but a hell of a lot of work. There is now a new system along the same lines where they virtually roll the stuff of the back of a specially modified truck. If anyone would like more infomation you might try the "JANES DEFENCE WEEKLY" magazine.

Just thought I would throw that lot in.
