Cheers, Neilster

Friendly plane I figure...look how everyone is along the rails of that sub...they wouldn't be just standing there if the attack was still in progress.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I suspected the "found in an old camera" bit was a bit too good to be true, especially given the scope and range of the shots and the fact that a lot of them looked familiar. Hence my caution in the original post.

Cheers, Neilster

This is an interesting picture. The dark object just to the right of center looks like a submarine rescue bell. Didn't know they had those back then.
