| How very true Richard,these things were done under desperate conditions,how young to die for your country but we know that history repeats itself time and time again.
One question ? how did they manage to navigate these subs ? visibility must have been poor,did they have a compass,I bet that getting lost was why a lot of them never returned to the mainland,what an awful way to go.
Yes I did notice the Beaver bit,the subs were built in three sections which bolted together via the bulkheads,a rubber seal failed on the restoration and water poured in,they had to split the thing apart and re-seal her after disconnecting pipes and controls,a fiddly job in itself.
