How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
AVRE Bobbin
The bobbin AVRE was predominately for D Day only and came out of the lessons learnt during the ill-fated Dieppe raid. Tanks struggled on loose, or soft ground, so they came up with a way to lay a carpet that would span the soft ground and allow the vehicles exiting the beach a safe route. There were many different varieties of layer trialled and the full width version was selected. There were two types of this layer, the type C and type D. Both of these variants were used on D Day.
Type D variant.
