What's in a name
« on: September 27, 2013, 03:43:56 pm »
A small point, but worth pointing out (since I get very exercised about it  %) ).
 
The Vietnam era PBR was never, EVER known as a pibber ... EVER.
 
 >>:-(
 
Next thing we will be talking about U-bbers and E-bbers...  :-))

'Excercise' is good for you. Are you telling me that E-Boats were actually S-Boats, and TID Tugs weren't Tiddlers, unless you count relieving yourself over the gunwhales!

Understood, will get back on my U-bber post haste. Not to be confused with a Biber though. Here with referred to as a Deutsches U-Bber Biber. Thats clear then :-)
