No.5 uses - pontoons

[Mick_Marsh]

In a recent facebook post, a fellow asked what the No.5 trailers were used for. I suggested pontoons in a pontoon bridge.
This got me thinking.......
Did the ADF actually trialed these trailers as a pontoon and are there any photo's or reports of this?

In cadets as an exercise they strapped a blue plastic drum to the drawbar and that was enough to make it bouyant and had cadets 'row' them around a course on lake st clair/singleton as a way to waste a day..

not sure if that counts as a pontoon..

No, not usage as a pontoon. That does show they were used as a training aid.
