donald bailey was a civel servant in the british war office,who tinkered with model bridges as a hobby.
he presented one shuch model to his chiefs, who saw some merit in the design.the consequent bailey bridge was built at the milltary engineering experimental establisment at christchurch in dorset.the prototype was used to span mother siller`s channel which cuts through stanpit marsh.
bailey was later knighted for his invention.
