Glad you’ve managed to get some flight time in!
Back when I was a proper lorry driver,one of the bonuses was getting to see lots of different things around the country.That transporter bridge never failed to impress,a truly wonderful piece of engineering

I can remember walking over that bridge in the early 60s when you could do such a thing for a few (old) pence. The colour of the Tees was best described as “palest sewage”.

Yes. Sometimes my dad would take his car over and I would go up the stairs, over the top, and meet him on the other side.
