Unfortunately have not found any film of one being deployed so it’s mostly guess work but being an assault bridge I guess they were dropped in a hurry.

Re: Churchill AVRE
I just spotted there is a very short clip in the introduction showing the bridge being lowered ~45secs in and 24mins in.David Skeldon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2024 10:36 pmUnfortunately have not found any film of one being deployed so it’s mostly guess work but being an assault bridge I guess they were dropped in a hurry.

Re: Churchill AVRE
No, it's very grainy, but it gives an idea of the speed that the bridge was dropped.

Re: Churchill AVRE
Whilst packing up at Old Sarum yesterday, I found a little rise in the grass and thought it would be interesting to see how the AVRE coped with the bridge attached...
It's a little wobbly but I don't think it's much risk of it tipping over.
Thanks to Chris Blackler for videoing it for me.
