Thats a shame to see the Otter like that... We did a couple of nocturnal beach landings from her way back when... It has to be said - a person with claustrophobia in a submarine is NOT a good combination. I survived it though.... :)

Thats interesting Neil,its great when a picture brings up a story was begining to think no one was interested.cheers ..

sorry heres another one.

No much can be told really. As you probably know - normally seaborne landings are the strict provenance of the SBS but exercises way back then were held to see how the Regiment could do them. They sent a 4-man patrol out on the Otter to see how they managed at getting ashore. Landing was dry but getting off wasn't. :-( Got soaked pushing off the beach and soaked again on re-boarding the sub - trashed the radio gear etc. They were never tried again.....
