Came across this by accident, and I through it was pretty cool.

Typical Germans!! This is probably a "Fest". Or Kirchwheih, (Celebrates the christening of the Town Church). Invite the whole town. Beer and Bratwurst. Looks like its a multi national operation. German, Belgium? This was done near Odendorf, Hessen. Not far from Hanover. In Odendorf is a VERY NICE VW bus museum.

Yeah, I don’t know what the event it was, I was just amazed at the equipment they were using, they were very ingenious! German engineering!

The French and Brits also have similar machines. This is the first time I've seen them in a ferry role! Usually just a bridge.

Thought I had a model of that machine. Sorry for the poor picture. This is an HO (1/87 scale) model.

Korean Gov just bought into the M3 bridge. It will be produced in Korea, and the Model# will change to M3K. The M3 has been in production for at least 30 years, if not longer. Used to see them on the Main, between Bamberg and Schweinfurt. In the town of Eltmann, Back in the late 80's was the first time I saw one, and it was the same deal as the film clip. Everyone and his dog was invited to take a ride. It was Summer, and the beer tent was up, so maybe Kirchwheih.
