ONE of the greatest feats of British engineering came into play 77 years ago today when PLUTO – pipeline under the ocean - began transporting oil from the south coast of England over the Channel and into Normandy, France. It was a vital masterstroke in thwarting the efforts of Hitler and the German Wehrmacht LINKThe triumph of the D-Day landings was due not only to the courage of the thousands who risked their lives on that fateful day but also to technological wizardry on a grand scale.
