Friday 15th March 2013 +3.0hrs GMT: Suez Canal Transit ­ What did I See: The El Ferdan Rail Swing Bridge

This bridge spans the canal just north of Ismailia, Egypt.  It is the longest swing bridge in the world with a span of 1100ft. Such a strategic bridge has been rebuilt several times after WWII, the Suez Crisis and the war with Israel.
