I forgot to mention. John Lambert does plans too. Always very good his drawings, well worth the price.

The Biber that is in the Imperial War Museum is in very good nick, and is in the section that is free to the public.

I knew my faith should not have wavered, amazing how frustration can affect one.
will have to save hard for john lamberts plans as times is hard, but life is long, hopefully.
thank you gents, of course any other info welcome.
thought of the gosport one cos that's the one made operational by salvage squad, unless of course it moved to IWM after they'd finished with it.

true, but it did surface cruise and dive, albeit without torps. scary thing to go to sea in. have a copy of the programme on dvd. shame they had to fit a frame with ballast presumably to compancate for the lack of torps.
i fully intend to see both over the coming months.

think self preservation got in the way
as well as HSE, insurance and the fear of death
but still worth doing
