Moral objections on warfare.

[Nonskimmer]

That is true, unless they are killing them in the war themselves!

Heh! Good point.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

They seemed to have a habit of it.

Wildcat I am not sure.

On the topic of memorials, if you ever get the chance, visit the Australian war Memorial in Canberra. This place is fantastic. They have the wall of honour which has the name of every Australian killed in every war, The beautiful tomb of the unknown soldier, an aircraft hall which contains a Lanc (G-George), Me262, Zero, Spitfire, P40 and a Mossie(I think). This place has so many artifacts it would take you a good two days to check everything out proper. One of my favourite exhibits is the Japanese midget sub that attacked Sydney harbour. Truely an awesome place!

 

[Nonskimmer]

A genuine midget sub, eh? I'd really like to see that.

 

[Wildcat]

Yeah I think it was made out of the remains of the three subs that were sunk after they attacked Sydney.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah that would be neat to see.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

hey, there's a german E-boat that's just come into cornwall, yes CORNWALL to be restored, cool or what..........

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah, cool.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Good stuff.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[Nonskimmer]

Plymouth, by chance?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[Nonskimmer]

Oh. I thought it was just on the Cornish side of the border. My mistake.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it's just on the devon side of the border, no i can't remember where in cornwall the Eboat is but it's further down the county.........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Heres some info on that E-boat restoration Lanc. and a couple of pics for you Adler.
E-boat to be restored at Marchwood: German WW2 torpedo boat (Schnellboote) S-130 - known as an E-boat (Enemy War Motorboat) - has been towed from Germany and is now at the British Military Powerboat Trust's base at the former Husband's Shipyard, Cracknore Hard, Marchwood for refurbishment.

 

[mosquitoman]

Is that an early or late war scnellboot?
It looks like an early war one but I'm not sure
