schweboo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi I live in London and have been asked if I can track down the identity of a vehicle on a WWII wreck in the Red Sea. The wreck is a British freighter sunk waiting to go up the Suez canal. The wreck is full of trucks, jeeps and aircraft parts - and two vehicles that I have not been able to identify... I do not have a HMV of my own. When I am not diving, I try to keep busy - flying and playing rugby - when I can get a free moment. I also have two children Best regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Welcome Chris, is it a well known wreck? can you name it for maybe some one here has pictures or first hand evidence of the wreck and can answer your questions.

Tony B Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Welcome Chris, there a number of us around London, so you'll always get a ride. The kids can be chained in the back. Catwezale will be happy to have a diver on board, and can you fish my bike out the hole some unsporting person dug at the club house entrance?.:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Tony, you need to take more water with it. MB Welcome Chris. Hopefully we can solve your problem. Have you ever by chance dived on the wreck of HMS Southsea off Tynemouth? MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
