ferrettkitt Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I thought you might like a few pictures of U47 that I have been gifted by a relative. The Sky remote is to give you some idea of the size of this model The two pictures above show the motors, servo and battery compartment it looks to be ready for the water just requiring batteries and a remote control handset.

fesm_ndt Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Wikipedia is a bit light on the subject. I am pretty sure this is the guy that navigated in between sunken hulks in a supposedly impossible passage, sunk the ship and went out the same way. considering in them days you couldn't see anything it was quite daring.
