Leif had already spotted the location. I couldn't think at the time who IKB was (notwithstanding that.. I didn't even notice the bridges!) :roll:

Correct Jonesey.. this made the IKB ref even more odd. It worked though cause I'd no idea where it was (not spotting the bridges didn't help)

A great Spit pic - it looks real!
There's a very interesting lecture transcript by LTC Rolt ( the very great transport historian, and I would recommend his books to anyone interested in transport history) on the connections between all 3 engineers and the bridges at http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/history/ikb/lecture/
