fv1609 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 How about underwater bridge repairs??? Nope Neil, Bodge Deep was nearly there but as I said, his answer was only 50% correct! But people focussed on the wrong 50%! Or it could be argued that he was actually 75% correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Maybe there is water/liquid behind the wall, in the tank to the left, whatever he is doing will release this into the compartment he is standing in and fill it up, hence the scuba gear. Is he demonstrating how to fix and survive an accidental breach in the wall/lock gate or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 OK - BD said "Submarine escape practice tank?" and was 50% right. REME - to the best of my knowledge have nothing do with Subs so I assume the practice tank part was the 50% right part - if the slanted bar indicate the position of the water normally rather than canting the tank it would imply a shore-line or beach line and the only thing I can think of REME wearing that gear in the water for is in conjunction with a BARV. I seem to recall the Sherman BARV's being fitted with Divers ladders to allow tow ropes to be attached underwater Ergo all that's left is recovery of vehicles from an invasion beach or river crossing???

You are correct the tank he is in does fill up with water, hence the scuba gear. But you haven't quite got to the reason for it filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting very warm Neil. You are too focussed on a BARV although this procedure could be applied to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should now have got submarines, BARVs & to some degree landing craft out of the way.......... Edited October 10, 2009 by fv1609 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
