Summary: Traffic negotiates floodwaters in Colleville-sur-Orne.
Description: Three cheerful sappers from a road or airfield construction group RE ride on an earth grader through the village in pouring rain. The cameraman focuses on the wheels of various types of wheeled vehicles - notably a Bedford MW truck, a Dodge tipper lorry, several Matchless motorcycles ridden by despatch riders and jeeps, a Bedford QLR lorry, several Austin K2 ambulances and Bedford OY and CMP 3-ton lorries - motoring through Colleville along flooded streets with road surfaces that have become deeply rutted through constant use. British army personnel wade through the floodwaters.
