Kevin Posted February 14, 2022 Share #151 Posted February 14, 2022 i think there are two areas up there, i was racking me brains earlier, as to whether i ever went up there, i was always action planesman, so drove to boat in and out I also was normally required to dive the boat if at diving stations, (first dive after the procedure for opening up for diving is carried out through the submarine), there are two us us at the planes, a fore -planes man who controlled the rate of dive, and me on the after planes controlling the afterpains (ensuring the boat was kept fairly level) and steering. if at high speed the after planes did both as the dynamics of the boat render the fore-planes useless watch diving, however was carried by anyone on watch qualified to do so after an initial dive, and the boat was known to be in a good trim and flood free. i was then required to become a ship controller,( sat behind the planesmen controlling the trim and ballast of the boat, making the preps for periscope runs, being aware of the emergency procedures in all events etc etc, but whilst on my last ever patrol a friend of mine on another submarine witnessed two deaths at sea (all over the headlines at the time, and i knew my Chief Petty Officers pension was safe so i refused do the final test, and awaited my punishment BBC NEWS | England | Sub deaths caused by 'failures' sorry ranting on there Canute, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 1 other 3 1 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Hsae Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share #158 Posted February 15, 2022 Yes, but you would probably always see it. I mixed so many colors that it is tough to match. Plus I cut already the frame to size. I am just debating if I use glass (heavy) or acrylic glass (easily scratched) lmagna, mtaylor, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsae Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share #159 Posted February 18, 2022 Last night I was working on the planking for the bridge. I had to do some modifications.
