U Boat Tender
« on: September 24, 2010, 10:38:17 pm »

A few years ago i took this photo on 35mm film (come on, you remember it). It shows the U Boat tender Wachtel, having been lifted from Langton Dock in Liverpool. I don't know anything else about the boat except it didn't half smell, and don't know where it is now. Can anyone shed any light on it?

Well I imagine the tyres will still be going..... but by the look of the rest if it back then....... it may well be a big pile of brown dust by now.....! :D  :D  :D

Anyway, made a change from the usual old bilke frames and supermarket trolleys!!

I just threw out half a dozen rolls of that 35mm stuff the other day...... no doubt someone will tell me know how useful it would have been for 'something' or 'other'

That's a really great picture. In a funny kind of way I also think it would make an interesting model.... %%
