My mailbox was recently graced by a missive from K9Baylee _ :

> Just what exactly is "invasion pipe" and what was it used for?

A pipe line that was laid under the channel to convey petrol over for the use
of the invasion forces.

Knon under the acronym PLUTO (PipeLine Under The Ocean); theree is a section
on display at the Imperial War Museum, among their D-day exhibits.

Cheers,

Ron.
