Number 19 always reminds me of the view out of the Death Star :)

I know how you feel mate.. so close, and yet so far. Going into space and diving on Titanic/Bismark/Hood are still here on my list of things to do before I die. I've a feeling they'll still be there undone long after I've gone :(

You can get quite close - http://www.incredible-adventures.com/edgeofspace.html up to where James May got in the U2 which is officially in Space in old money.

Hello Dave,

Some great images,

You saying about the Bismarck Dave, on Tuesday 15 Feb on Sky Chan 526 Nat Geo at 2100 hrs there is a new Documentary apparently shedding new light on her sinking, although i always thought it was the old stringbag that finnished her off and funny enough i'm just building a Tamiya 1/350th scale model of the Bismarck and that certainly gives one a great idea of the ship and with her guns she could have caused havoc if she had not been stopped.

Sorry to go off topic!

Roger.
