Very clever, but oh so useful as global warming causes more flooding of rivers, streams and islands LeighW

Relative of mine used to be top spanner man for these out in Germany, then went to work for EWK direct as the liaison for the roll out to Singapore army.
Not very reliable by all accounts, still a cracking bit of kit.
Always find it interesting when some of the old ones turn up at the steam fairs and rallys
