Re: possible german 3/4 man sub discovered in river foyle

The chances of it being a German miniature submarine are more against than for and it is unlikely that it is an X Craft. I see no reason why it should be an unrecorded Mini sub. taken to Lisahally post war , these craft were not in short supply in post war Europe and the rational in bring one beyond...

Re: possible german 3/4 man sub discovered in river foyle

http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0427/lough-foyle-sonic-sunken-submarine.html A false alarm , a bogus sonar return. (So it seems the nearest sub in Derry is the local "Sub-way" outlet.) :) A lot of speculation in the news when this broke and afterwards, as far as the three U Boats which are in ...

Re: 10 X 50 BINOCULARS (Dienstglas) wanted

Unfortunately eBay is your best bet , some decent ones on there in recent times...the 7x50 d.glas is a set harder to get but 10x50's turn up thee on quite a regular basis one with a case will be expensive, having said that how often do you actually see a photo of anyone with the case ? Go for a Zeis...

Recently bought 3 from this series which I think now runs up to 12 volumes what you get -Excellent and well captioned photo histories of German Armour after it has been disabled or destroyed. Random phot...
