    U534 Jim,

    Now cut into sections and moved unfortunately, I had a tour of "Das Boat" back in 1998 when she still complete, a quite remarkable privilege to see and tour such a rare (and very intact and structurally sound) survivor of her type.

    The Conning Tower was rebuilt by the apprentices at Camel Lairds. She was highly controversially cut up into 5 pieces in 2006 and moved to a new site when The Warship Preservation Trust was closed due to development of the site they occupied.

    Two sections were displayed with Plexiglas panels covering the holes apparently .... So it definitely wins the "Who has the biggest instructional Cut Away" competition!

    Sorry to throw the thread even further into the long grass!

    If it's a one off, rare as hens teeth L1A1 related component of accessory, you can bet Kevin's got it, or its on his hunt down list!
