  April 1st ?

[DavieTait]

Absolutely an April the 1st that one lol. The engines in a Type VIIc were good for 18 knots flat out to hydrofoil you'd need 30+ knots so just someone having a laugh lol

Ahh!!  you sussed me then !!

I got three emails from ebay members wanting to know more about it- i`m just glad no one biddded on it , have you worked out the scientist name and code name yet??

Paul.

Caught a few Paul lol.
Scientist Paul Chilcott code name lifeboatpaul very clever  could have been embarrasing if you got a bid or 2 Well done though,
Better than the cling wrapped cars and re-naming of the MCG (Melb cricket ground) we got in melbourne.

Perhaps the joke is on you, the ebay listing fee's on 500 quid would be quite substancial.

Damien,

Your right a bid of £500.00 would have been quite tempting.
- now I can take of the extended hydroplanes/ hydrofoils I made from cornflake packets !
