Here is a picture of the originl Pegasus Bridge. It's no longer in use, being preserved in the grounds of the nearby Airborne Museum , after it was replaced some years ago.
Bert,
I knew the bridge had been moved, and in fact I have this photo on my PC, but wasn't sure if what looks to be metal plates of some sort were period. Now I just have to figure the best way to scratch build something like that for a single 1/35th figure. Thanks for the information.
