Indeed. And a useful corrective for all those players who complained that the grass was too bright a shade of green in the game. But let me ask you, wasn't the original Pegasus Bridge moved a few years ago? The story I recall is that it had deteriorated to the point where it was no longer safe for vehicle traffic, but due to its historical significance was being preserved in a new location.

I was at the Pegasus bridge location in the late 90s and by that time the original bridge was long gone.

The Wiki article I linked to said that it was moved during the 1993-94 period.

You can still see the original bridge (which is now part of a museum) in that clip as follows:

Appears 1:55 - disappears 1:58

Appears 2:24 - disappears 2:34

Appears 2:54 - disappears 3:11

Circled in red in the image below:

I last visited there in about 2009 I think and well worth a look.
