| More Submarine Pictures
Here are some pictures from Norwich which I snapped between the showers! The targets all docked when sky open up but the subs ploughed on....
I counted 25 subs at one point, but few had left by the time I got my camera out

| There are some lovely looking boats there Mankster, both subs and targets. Is that a Model Slipway's Envoy class on the wall?
I am also impressed with the harbour arrangement which all goes to help the realism of the event and give the targets somewhere to hide!!
Thanks for the pictures, great job.
That facility is also superb with the high wall to make launching so much easier than bending down to the water with heavy boats. | |

| Yes I am pretty sure it was a Model Slipway kit. The others in that pic was a Dean's Liberty ship and a Sirmar Castle Class with Helo with spining rotor that also folded into the stoage postion. The Type23 Frigate actually spilt in to for transport and is joined and pond side. Lots of nice feature with lighting, sound and rotating Seawolf launchers.

| Brilliant Ramesh! Wish I could have been there - but still recuperating. Norwich is a brilliant pond for sailing with its raised walls. I went down 2 years ago (about 700 miles round trip!) and I must say I was inspired by the subs I saw. Up to that time I hadn't actually seen any submerging and I sat in awe for hours. Bored everyone at our Club to tears on my return! Now I've got 8 of them. One day I hope to finish one to somewhere near the standards I saw down there.

| Well done Mankster! Excellent array of pics there. I'd have orbed over for the event if I'd taken more notice of how to instead of perving at the cute witches!
