Thanks guys for all the corrections, we'll get on right away!

One more question. What's up with these caltrop things on the bridge? Pre-war photos show them on, and a lot of wartime photos have them missing. It looks like they were still there during the Battle, is that correct?

Should we have them on or off?

Good grief, you're not supposed to take our nit picking seriously, we're just filling in time and being a pain.

The missing parts, look like typical Gothic finials, probably made from stone, and probably removed because they proved unsafe with the vibration from the traffic or draw bridge. I suspect one fell off, and the remainder were then removed for safety subsequently being replaced during restoration after being strengthened or redesigned.

British Pathe is always a good source of Information films during this period.

Here's a nice one entitled "Knights of the air"

Seeing the pictures posted by Zorin, i would leave them off. Even if in one of those pictures they are there.
Also, its the breadth of the road correct? By the pictures of Zorin, it seems there is enough space to put 4 cars side by side, and by image of the model, it looks there is enough space just for two, maybe three. Still, i might be getting a wrong impression.
